history

Cancer on a 19th century map

The old Sorbian original form on which the place name is based should be * Kravas and go back to the Slavic plural word for "cattle breeder". It means "settlement of the cattle breeders". The place was first mentioned in 1288 as "Crawas". In the following centuries, a variety of spellings were in use, including "Grauwez", "Krauwes" and "Kraws". Around 1500 the place name had a different ending and can be found as Krawitz and Krawisch in the documents. Shortly thereafter, it was shortened back to "Krawis" and "Craws". In the middle of the 16th century, the German word cancer was interpreted in it, which is how the place name got its current spelling.

Krebs was surrounded by a block and strip corridor as well as manor blocks. Already in 1412 there was a Vorwerk in the village. In the middle of the 16th century it belonged to the Liebstadt manor . The other part of Krebs was under the court master of Leubnitz . The Vorwerk developed into a manor in the 17th century . After frequent changes of ownership from 1717, it was owned by the von Oppel family, who had a manor house built in the 18th century . Friedrich Wilhelm von Oppel , chief miner of the Electorate of Saxony and co-founder of the Bergakademie Freiberg, was born in 1720 in Krebs. His son Julius Wilhelm von Oppel founded the “Sophienanstalt” or “Sophienschule” named after his mother Juliana Sophie Freiin von Hartitzsch , who died in 1813, in Krebs . Julius Wilhelm's brother Carl Wilhelm von Oppel and his descendants were also among the owners of the manor. After the First World War, through the marriage of the heiress Anne Eleonore von Oppel, who was born in 1895, it came into the possession of the Count Vitzthum von Eckstädt and remained there until it was expropriated in 1945.

Krebs has been parish in Dohna in the local Marienkirche since the 16th century . The administration of the place was initially incumbent on the Dohna, since the 16th century the Pirna Office and then in 1856 the Pirna Court Office. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Krebs gained independence as a rural community . In 1875 this was part of the Pirna Authority . The district of Krebs had in 1900 an area of ​​around 197 hectares. In the time of the GDR it belonged to the Pirna district from 1952 . On January 1, 1970 the merger with the neighboring town of Köttewitz took place to form the new municipality of Köttewitz-Krebs, which was incorporated into Dohna on March 1, 1994 .
