Auferstehungskirche, Lutheran church in Leipzig, Germany.

The Auferstehungskirche is a yellow-brick Lutheran church at Georg-Schumann-Straße 184 in Leipzig-Möckern. Its tall central tower has a clock face, a louvered panel, an octagonal belfry and a slender dark spire with a cross. The round-arched entrance with dark double doors sits below a stepped gable, and the church body extends left and right under dark pitched roofs.

Möckern became its own parish in 1888, and services were first held in the village school hall from 1886. In 1900 the church council chose a temporary church rather than a full new building, and the architect Paul Lange designed it as a timber-framed structure meant to be replaced later by a masonry church. Work began in December 1900, the frame was raised in spring 1901, and the church was consecrated on 10 November 1901, Luther's birthday. It took its present name in 1921.

The church has belonged to the Sophienkirchgemeinde Leipzig since 2014. Its name, adopted in 1921, refers to the Resurrection and to the site on the old Möckern cemetery. The baptismal font of white, grey-veined marble bears the inscription "Gestiftet von Ed. Rohland / Möckern anno 1901", and its copper bowl is engraved with a dove in a halo of rays.

The church stands at Georg-Schumann-Straße 184 in Möckern, north of central Leipzig, and is reachable by tram along that street. The entrance is the round-arched doorway beneath the tower, with steps flanking the stone cross block in front. Since 2014 the parish has belonged to the Sophienkirchgemeinde Leipzig.

The building blends early twentieth-century construction methods with traditional Lutheran design principles. This mix made it an example of the transitional period between classical and modern building approaches.
