Upper Lusatia, where Pobiedna lies, was then under the rule of the Saxon electors and was Protestant.After 1945, the church functioned as Catholic for several years. During the Stalinist years, the church authorities were likely unable to obtain permission for necessary renovations (e.g., the roof). This led to the church falling into ruin, leading to its closure.Looters completed the devastation. Apparently, some of the movables are still found in some of Pobiedna's houses, while others, including a church clock, organ, and crystal chandelier, enrich the collections of museums in Wrocław and Görlitz.See this site: https://www.christoph-www.de/leipzig%201.htmlList of parishes in Schlesien including MeffersdorfLink to parish records [Taufen] for the years 1815-1828: https://skanoteka.genealodzy.pl/Latest filming updates can be found at this link: https://.genealodzy.pl/id4649-sy3500-kt1/ Index to Meffersdorf parish for the years 1815-1828 [Taufen only] at Geneteka: https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/
