Contribution by D.C. "il Buranello", North Texas, USA.
A Concerto in C a 5 and a Concerto in F a 5 are preserved in Berlin, Staatsbibliothek, Preusisscher Kulturbesitz, Mus. Ms. 12019, 1-2; and Ms. 12020 (ca. 1770) (13-course lute)
RISM Volume VII also list a Concerto a 5 Mus. Ms. 12021 which contains a work of Krebs, but here only the tablature has survived (12-course lute)
Krebs was first and foremost an organist. He was a pupil of Bach at the Thomasschule in Leipzig from 1726 to 1735. Krebs also learned the lute and the violin in Leipzig. Some possible teachers in Leipzig at that time: Johann Caspar Gleditsch (d 1747), Maximillan Nagel (b 1712; d 1748), Maximilian Nagel — in Leipzig to 1744– , and Johann Christian Weyrauch (b 1694; d 1771). Bach regarded Krebs as one of his favourite pupils. From 1735–37 he studied at the University of Leipzig. Simultaneously he was occasionally assisting as a harpsichord player in Bach’s Collegium Musicum. Krebs was later organist in Zwickau (1737–1743), Zeitz (1744) and Altenburg (1755). His instrumental works reflects both the Bachian style and the galant style. It becomes apparent from his two concertos for lute and strings that he must have been a very qualified lutenist.

baptized
Krebs was baptized on 12 October. According to the German Wikipedia entry this means he was born between 10 and 12 October. Anyway, I have now listed his date of baptism, and indicated it as such.
