Sažetak
The legend of Krabat, Sorbian magician, wizard and benefactor of Croatian descent, has its historical origin. The so-called Krabat and cavalry commander Johann von Schadowitz are the same person. Schadowitz alias Krabat is the Saxon supreme commander August the Strong, who in 1695 led the imperial troops against the Turks. For outstanding achievements in that campaign he was given the estate Groß Särchen for life, where he died in 1704. In Wittichenau, in the parish church Mariä Himmelfahrt, on the left side of the main altar there is one panel which proves that Johann or Jan von Schadowitz was buried there.
