Kronenburg was first mentioned in 1277 in a document from the Imperial Abbey of Stablo-Malmedy. At that time, Kronenburg was ruled by the noble family of Dollendorf. From 1327, an independent Kronenburg line developed for a short time. When the knight Peter von Kronenburg finally died in 1414 without male descendants, Kronenburg became a subsidiary of the County of Blankenheim-Manderscheid.

Under Charles V, Kronenburg fell under Spanish rule in 1555 because it belonged to the Duchy of Luxembourg until 1715. For this reason, the former Spanish island in the Eifel is still referred to as the "Spanish country". At the beginning of the 17th century, Kronenburg was hit by plague epidemics that lasted until 1680.

In 1794 Kronenburg was occupied by the French, under whose rule the place functioned as the cantonal capital in the Ourthe department. Kronenburg remained a mayor's office and at times also the seat of a notary in the post-French period. In the course of the redivision of Central Europe after Napoleon's defeat, Kronenburg first came to the House of Mecklenburg-Strelitz as an exclave and only to Prussia in 1819 through an exchange or an advance payment.
