Claiming to be of Swabian aristocrat stock, he was born in Lengfurt (today Triefenstein).
He began the Anglo-Bavarian branch to the Kreusser [Kreußer] family when he married Anne Rickets in London.
In 1823 he returned to Munich, where Maximilian II of Bavaria ennobled him and his descendants and raised him to Freiherr.
He wrote many romantic airs, divertimenti, sonatas and dances for the piano forte.
