Busmannkapelle, Gothic chapel in Dresden, Germany

The Busmannkapelle stands at the southeast corner of the former Sophienkirche site, featuring Gothic architectural elements and modern glass enclosure structure.

Built around 1400 for the Busmann family, the chapel served as a burial site for Dresden mayor Lorenz Busmann before its destruction in 1945.

The memorial structure contains fragments of the original chapel and presents exhibitions about Dresden's religious architecture through different time periods.

Located near the Zwinger complex, the memorial space functions as a forum for discussions about Dresden's past and contemporary social questions.

The glass-enclosed memorial incorporates original medieval stone elements within a contemporary architectural design, creating a bridge between past and present.
