A very beautiful church

The Pritzen church was demolished in 1991, when the closure of the open-cast mine that threatened the village had already been decided. However, the village received a bell tower that came from Wolkenberg, a village that had disappeared due to the open-cast mine. The Pritzen village church was relocated between 1988 and 1992 and rebuilt at the new location in Spremberg, and finally consecrated as the Evangelical Resurrection Church in 1994.
