thumb|Krabat sculpture in Běła Woda thumb|A figurine of Krabat as a raven in Schwarzkollm. Krabat () is a character in Sorbian folklore, also dubbed the "Wendish Faust". First records of him were mentioned in 1839 minutes of the Akademischen Vereins für lausitzische Geschichte und Sprache, but all writings of the association were lost.

The character developed from an evil sorcerer into a folk hero and beneficial trickster in the course of the 19th century.
