Zionskirche, Lutheran church ruins in Südvorstadt, Dresden, Germany.
The remnants of the original Zionskirche structure stand with preserved outer walls, now protected by a weather-resistant roof installed in 1995.
Built between 1908 and 1912 by Schilling & Graebner architects, the church endured severe damage during the February 1945 Dresden bombing.
The church ruins now function as a lapidarium, housing approximately 3000 archaeological sculptures and architectural fragments from Dresden's past.
The new Zionskirche building, constructed in 1981-1982 with Swedish church funding, stands at Bayreuther Straße for current religious services.
The original bronze pulpit and 4.5-meter marble cross marked the interior, while today the Selmar Werner crucifixion group remains visible in the ruins.
