The Coblentz parish already existed in 1577. This is shown in the protocol of a visit that was carried out by order of Duke Ernst Ludwig von Pomerania on September 2nd of that year. At that time, however, Krugsdorf was "Mater" and Koblentz was "Filia".

Krugsdorf was then a branch church of Koblentz until the middle of the 20th century, later supplemented by the branch community Uhlenkrug . In 1940 the Koblentz parish had a total of 1009 parishioners, of which 506 belonged to the Koblentz parish, 243 to the Krugsdorf parish and 260 to the Uhlenkrug parish. At that time the Koblentz parish was in the Pasewalk parish in the western district of the Pomeranian Church Province (seat: Stettin ) of the Church of the Old Prussian Union (seat: Berlin ). The church was renovated in 1955. In 2016 the church was given up and the building was de-dedicated.
