Alte Erlöserkirche, Lutheran church in Thonberg, Leipzig, Germany.
The Alte Erlöserkirche featured a 45-meter-high tower that defined the architectural landscape of Leipzig's Thonberg district until 1945.
Built between 1867 and 1869 by architects Hugo Altendorff and Paul Lange, this church marked the first religious construction for a Leipzig suburb in the 19th century.
The church received its name Erlöserkirche in 1895 and contained a Friedrich Ladegast organ with two manuals and 23 registers from 1873.
The original building sustained severe damage during a February 1945 air raid, leading to the tower's demolition and the congregation's relocation to Salomonstrasse.
The construction costs of the original church amounted to 27,000 Taler, with the consecration ceremony taking place on July 25, 1869.
