context_section_description: In Visitation protocol from 1533 Caspar von Mergenthal and Rudolf von Bunaw be named as owner Benndorf. Caspar von Minkwitz met us on 1535 Benndorf. 1540 sold this Frohburg and Benndorf "sessig on Kossern" Nickel of Techwitz. This is on October 30, 1542 by the Ernestine Electors Johann Friedrich, in turn, by the bailiff of Altenburg, admonished to comply with its pecuniary obligations to the pastor of Benndorf.
  Already in 1549 sold Nickel of Techwitz the manors Frohburg and Benndorf because overindebted, to Melchior von Kreutzen. The purchase contract is the Albertine Elector Moritz signed with. Melchior von Kreutzen died "to Frohburg at his castle by Ursula, which was October 24, 1555 at 9:00 am," so now states that at the western porch of Frohburger Church brazen grave slab with Kreutzer almost life-size figure. His son and successor Bernhard von Kreutzen did not come out of the financial difficulties, so that it in 1600 "on the Schneeberg" retired and his possessions to his cousin Melchior von Kreutzen from the Prussian line left, of them, however, already in 1602 ceded to his son Christoph von Kreutzen. But this passed away much too early. Under his skillful hand the two goods could also have financially flourish again. With high honors, in the presence of Duke Johann Georg he was buried on 2 October 1609. His widow managed from 1609, goods with Wolf von Kreutzen on Ballstädt and Henry Friesen on Rötha for her only son Melchior, who receives but transferred deeply in debt these goods. Perhaps to the financial worries sake he enlists and is probably also the war like, because on January 23, 1630 enters his widow Sabine (from the house of Priessnitz Einsiedel) Frohburg to creditors of her husband from, Either under this widow Sabine von Kreutzen or still alive her husband Melchior von Kreutzen Benndorf must have been sold. Thus, the separation of freight and Benndorf Frohburg has occurred.
