history
Sprotta belongs to the settlement type of the street perch village . Until 1815 it belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg . The manorial rule over the place was around 1747 with the manor Thallwitz , which belonged to the office Wurzen of the Stiftsamt Wurzen under electoral suzerainty. Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Sprotta came to Prussia in 1815 and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which the place belonged until 1952.
In 1952 Sprotta came to the district of Eilenburg in the newly formed district of Leipzig during the administrative reform of the GDR . After the Second World War, Sprotta's population was just over 1,000. When the districts were dissolved in 1990 in favor of the earlier state structure, the majority of the Prussian district of Delitzsch, which fell to Prussia in 1816, was assigned to the reborn Free State of Saxony. In 1996 Sprottas was merged with five other municipalities to form Doberschütz.
Attractions
The village church in Sprotta dates from 1723. Sprotta already owned a church in the time before the Reformation, it was built in half-timbered construction. This building was replaced in 1610 by a new stone church with a tower and two bells. The church was badly damaged during the Thirty Years War , but makeshift repairs could not stop the church from falling into disrepair. In 1682 the church tower collapsed. A bell tower was then built to replace it in 1685. The center of the village was chosen as its location, as the church itself was a bit out of the way. The church building was in poor structural condition, but was still in use until 1723. In 1724 the new building, which still stands today, was ceremoniously inaugurated in the same place as the old church. The towerless church is equipped with the organ choir and two galleries , the pulpit is above the altar .
