In 1983, during the tenure of Pastor Krauß and under his energetic guidance, the community undertook the interior renovation of their church. The entire electrical system, including the underfloor heating, urgently needed renewal. The dark painting from 1928 had to give way to a brighter, friendlier one. Only the installation of the electrical system was carried out by a company from Eilenburg; all other renovation work, similar to 1975 and 1980, is the work of so-called after-work brigades and volunteers. In 1993, the community converted the rooms of the former sacristy into a charming community room. The carpentry and drywall work was carried out by the Schneider company. In 1995, with the proceeds from the sold rectory and 40% subsidies, the community finally had funds available to have the church tower re-roofed by the Hoffmann company from Thallwitz. The repair of the mechanical tower clock could be paid for with grants from the monument protection agency and the municipality. Since 1970, three bells have been ringing and reminding again.

This brings us to the day of horror, November 12, 1925. The old, venerable church was consumed by flames. The cause of the fire remains unknown to this day. It was not until 1928 that the new, present-day church could be consecrated. It is thanks to the then pastor Köppe that it was not built to be oversized. The Doberschütz residents could only enjoy the sound of the three new bells for barely fifteen years, then the two larger ones were confiscated again for war purposes. Hard times began for the church community as early as 1933, and these were hardly to improve after 1945. As early as 1928, the slater had "saved" on the copper nails, so that the first slates fell from the tower after the war. A repair would have been necessary, but there was a lack of money, material and construction capacity. The damage to the roof of the nave was first repaired in 1975 by a new covering. In the same year, the tower and nave also received a new exterior plaster. However, the joy over the new church roof was not to last long. The quality of the roof tiles used was so poor that the roof had to be renewed again in 1980. Source https://www.kirche-am-fluss.de/index.php/kirchen/doberschuetz

Swabians now settled on the abandoned farms. As early as 1691, the church must have been too small or dilapidated. The nave was built higher, and two galleries now offered enough space. Certainly, money was already scarce at that time, because the construction could not be completed and the tower erected as a roof turret until 1695. Old records mention two bells, the oldest of which is said to have dated from the 15th century. In 1859, the Gutsauszügler Georg Apitz donated a third, larger bell. This and the middle one were sacrificed to the World War in 1917. The smallest one melted in the church fire in 1925. Source https://www.kirche-am-fluss.de/index.php/kirchen/doberschuetz
