Alte Propsteikirche, Gothic Revival parish church in Leipzig, Germany.

The building features a triangular layout with a 50-meter tower and red volcanic Rochlitz porphyry facade opposite Leipzig's New Town Hall.

The original church from 1847 faced destruction during World War II, with its ruins demolished in 1954 under East German administration.

The northern window, designed by artist Falk Haberkorn, incorporates texts from both testaments and changes appearance based on daylight conditions.

The church complex contains a congregational hall, parish offices, residential spaces for priests, and utilizes geothermal heating with solar power systems.

The structure marks the third incarnation of the Trinitatiskirche in Leipzig, completed in 2015 as the largest church built in eastern Germany since reunification.
