Kreuzkirche, Lutheran church in Weißig district, Dresden, Germany.
The Kreuzkirche in Weißig is a Lutheran church with a hall-style layout, a continuous transept, and a rectangular choir. The building combines historical construction methods with refined facade design.
The current building was constructed in 1901 under architect Woldemar Kandler from Dresden, who drew on regional building traditions. This phase fundamentally shaped the building's appearance.
The church takes its name from the cross and shows wooden galleries on three sides that visitors can walk through inside. The space feels open and bright, with the altar retable and pulpit drawing the eye.
The building opens for church services and regular events where the organ is also heard. Visitors can ask ahead online or on-site about specific opening times and event offerings.
A memorial stone on the grounds honors community members who lost their lives during the turbulent times of the 20th century. The site shows how the congregation preserves its past.
