history

Previous buildings

Kröbeln village church

The town of Kröbeln, first mentioned in a document in 1289, which has consisted of the formerly independent communities Kröbeln, Mühldorf and Grimmerdorf since 1937, has a long school history.

As the first schoolmaster, Andreas Jahn appears in the documents in 1605 as the debtor of the church treasury. Previously, the local sexton had to fulfill this task as part of his office, which was, however, limited to querying the catechism before or after the services . The school house was in the immediate vicinity of the village church. One of Jahn's successors, the schoolmaster Hans Sucher, who took over the office in 1669, fell victim to a plague epidemic along with most of his family in 1681. Sucher was followed by the schoolmaster Hans Lesche, whose descendants were to hold the office of Kröbelner schoolmaster until 1858.

In 1840 a new school building was necessary, because Mühldorf, which was parish in Nieska due to the official border that existed until 1815 , now belonged to the Kröbeln parish and the children of the village now also attended the local school. The new building cost 1,100 thalers. But already in 1876 this school became too small and it had to be expanded.

New school

The Kröbelner village school shortly after it opened in 1907.

The building that can be seen today dates from 1904. Its construction was preceded by almost ten years of history. As early as April 1895, the royal government had proposed the construction of a new, larger school in Kröbeln. The only teacher in town at the time had 133 students to look after. Two years later it was finally decided to build a new school in Kröbeln. Construction was not completed until seven years later. So much time was needed to get the necessary construction documents and finally to get the financing of the project off the ground with state help .

The drafts for the school building came from the Royal District Building Inspectorate in Torgau . The construction itself was carried out by the Mühlberg builder Alwin Muschter, who a few years later also designed the Falkenberg Jesus Christ Church . The costs, which were partly financed by a loan, ultimately totaled 20,032.31 marks. The school building itself, including the auxiliary building, cost 19,506.69 marks. They spent 68.43 marks on advertisements and rent allowances and the default interest was 457.19 marks. The loan taken out had an amount of 7,800 marks. The state grant was 3,800 marks and the patronage grant was 7,395.53 marks. The demolition of the old school house had brought in 950.50 marks and the school community itself raised 86.28 marks.

The teacher's apartments were on the first floor and in the attic. A separate entrance led to these from the courtyard. The main entrance was on the street side. This originally contained the saying, which has now disappeared: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom .

The inauguration of the new school building took place on November 20, 1904. To celebrate the day, all school children received a coffee mug as a souvenir to remind them of the day. Since the second teacher in Kröbeln could only be introduced two years later on July 1, 1906, the last rooms of the new school building were not moved into until then.

present

The Kröbelner school was closed during GDR times and the Kröbelner children attended the school in Zobersdorf . After this school was also closed, the children of the Bad Liebenwerda district have been going to school since 2006.
