history

Like the neighboring towns of Kosilenzien , Oschätze and Prieschka, Kröbeln was originally incorporated into Würdenhain . Like Kröbeln, these places belonged to the Mühlberg rule since the 15th century . Kröbeln and Kosilenzien were finally removed from Würdenhain and became an independent parish.

In earlier times the inhabitants of the village were considered to be very freedom-loving and uncouth . After a few other recorded incidents, they threw stones at the coffin of the deceased pastor without further ado and chose their own preacher , which was then severely punished. In the year 1563 the pastor of Würdenhain Köhler Kröbeln described as follows: "Since Kröbeln is a rat's nest of wanton people, that no hiker who stops in the jugs could get away unscrambled and unrestrained ..."

In 1731 the community received 30 tree trunks from the Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong to build a church. After construction could begin in 1732, the church was finally consecrated on March 25, 1734.

From 1529 to 1837, the town of Nauwalde , which is now in Saxony, was parish into the parish. Another branch was Kosilenzien . Mühldorf, which is now part of Kröbeln , was parish from 1752 to 1838 in Nieska , which has also been in Saxony since 1815 . The Kröbeln parish existed until the fall of the Wall . The Lutheran parish Kröbeln now belongs to the parish area Muhlberg in the parish of Bad Liebenwerda the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .

Architecture and equipment (selection)

The Kröbelner Church is a plastered hall building from 1732 with a three-sided east end. A sacristy is attached to the east of the nave . A square wooden tower with a tail hood , lantern and weather vane was put on in the west .

The interior of the church is characterized by a wooden flat ceiling. Galleries are located on the north and south sides and to the west of the tower wall, which is underpinned by wide segmental arches. There is a glazed box below the southern gallery.

The church received its first organ in 1768. The instrument was built by the Kröbelner organ builder Johann Christian Pfennig (1706–1787), who owned another workshop in Calau . Today's organ in Kröbeln has a pneumatic cone chest , a manual and nine stops . This was created by the Liebenwerda organ building company Arno Voigt (op. 62).
