history

The chapel, which is one of the oldest churches in the upper Elbe Valley , was probably built in the 13th century and was part of the Cossebaude Vorwerk, first mentioned in 1263 . In 1441 it was consecrated to St. Dorothea and was subordinate to the cathedral monastery of Meißen. In 1492, the Meißner cathedral provost Johannes von Konigspergh had the Vorwerk dissolved and the community of Cossebaude declared a separate parish . At the same time, the chapel served as the residence of a priest. This was responsible for collecting the church taxes associated with viticulture.

After the Reformation , the old chapel was converted into a Protestant church in 1578 and was part of the Briesnitz church as a branch church . The weekly Sunday services were held by the teacher and quarterly by the pastor in Briesnitz. Around 1700 the late Gothic building was increased, which in this context received a hipped roof . In 1901 Cossebaude was declared an independent parish. Since the old chapel no longer met the requirements, the machine room of the village's former wine press at Talstrasse  9 was converted into a prayer room in 1902 . After its completion, the old chapel was no longer used for church purposes and was converted into a residential building in 1921. Before that, the local museum of local history was located here for a few years.
