Petrikirche, Gothic Revival church in Dresden, Germany.

The Petrikirche features a 68-meter tower topped with a gilded finial and displays three stained glass windows depicting biblical parables at its altar.

The church, completed in 1890, burned during the Dresden air raids of February 14, 1945, and underwent reconstruction between 1951 and 1955.

The interior contains ceramic sculptures by Gustav Schmidt representing the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus, along with a reproduction of Caspar David Friedrich's painting.

Located at Großenhainer Platz 5, the church belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity congregation while maintaining guest rights for the St. Petri congregation.

The church structure was built using brick masonry as a cost-saving measure during its initial construction in 1889.
