Matthäuskirche, Baroque church in Friedrichstadt, Dresden, Germany.
The Matthäuskirche features a nearly square nave with a central sandstone podium containing a metal altar table, cross, stele, baptismal font, and lectern.
The church's foundation stone was laid in 1728 following designs by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, and the building was consecrated in 1730 by Dresden superintendent Valentin Ernst Löscher.
The altar cross incorporates a red stone symbolizing Christ's sacrificial death, while the stele displays a scripture passage from Romans 8:32.
The church now functions as a community center for the Annen-Matthäus congregation, housing parish offices and cemetery administration services.
The building contains three bronze bells cast in 1980, carrying the inscription from Matthew 28:20 about divine presence until the end of time.
