"1880-1882 New construction of the stone church in the neo-Romanesque / neo-Gothic style by master builder A. Hantsch from Krippen and architect Gotthilf Ludwig Mökel from Dresden (cost 26,000 Reichsmarks). The tower was built square on the southeast side, but on the bell floor it has an octagonal floor plan with a pointed hood. The organ, altar, crucifix and pulpit also date from the construction period. Windows, chandeliers and the wrought iron handrails were donated. The church was consecrated on August 28, 1882.
1944 Loss of two bells At the end of the Second World War, a reception camp was set up for refugees [This would probably be unthinkable in the region today]. The church was not damaged." - kirchgemeinde-bad-schandau.de/seite/278546/krippen.html
