Tips from the Community
In near-total silence, we stroll across the grounds, savoring the moment. The church shines in all its glory, bathed in the rays of the autumn sun. We enter the church; a service is in progress, and it's noticeable that Sorbian is still actively spoken here. We don't want to disturb them any further. We continue our walk through the grounds, reach the monastery café, and take a seat. After a while, we head back outside and are surprised by a flood warning sign. A few meters away, the Klosterwasser stream babbles along, almost like a brook, several meters below. We return to the church. Now, after the service, let's take another look inside. It's built in the Late Gothic style. The interior is beautiful, too, with a view of the altar and the interplay of red and white tones. The gallery is lined with statues. With these impressions, we leave the grounds. https://youtu.be/X0epJTurlSE

Many readers will involuntarily associate the name "Krabat" with the name Otfried Preußler. The storyteller, who was born in 1923 in Reichenberg, Bohemia, took up the old Sorbian legend in his work, a multi-award-winning young adult novel. The publication "Master Krabat, the good Sorbian magician" from Domowina-Verlag offers a slightly different perspective, see link =>> https://www.borromedien.de/produkt-2002/meister_krabat_der_gute_sorbische_zauberer/1350027
