St. Matthew, Gothic church building in Leipzig, Germany
The St. Matthew Church features a two-nave hall structure, completed in 1494, with late Gothic architectural elements and modifications made in 1879.
Originally established after 1230 as Holy Spirit Franciscan Church, the building underwent complete transformation in 1488 and served as a merchant storage from 1552 to 1699.
Johann Sebastian Bach, while serving as Thomaskantor, supervised the church music activities, adding to its musical heritage within Leipzig's religious landscape.
The structure no longer exists, as it was destroyed during the December 1943 bombing raid, with the final service held in its ruins in August 1948.
The church contained a three-manual organ built by Hermann Eule Orgelbau around 1939, designated as Opus 220, which remained until the building's destruction.
