Kroppach was for a long time the seat of a tithe court and had its own court seal. In 1661, a so-called Kirchspiel-Winterschule (“parish winter school”) was established, which 70 years later, beginning in 1731, was also run the year round.
Politics
The municipal council is made up of 12 council members who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 13 June 2004.
