Eliasburg, Religious monument in Pockau-Lengefeld, Germany.

Eliasburg is a religious building in Pockau-Lengefeld distinguished by its large white crosses and bold central section on the exterior. Inside, the structure contains a main hall for gatherings, smaller adjacent rooms, and a pipe organ mounted on a gallery facing the altar.

The community in Christo Jesu, known as Lorenzianer, left the Saxon state church's communion and needed a central meeting place. Its 1923 hall at Marterbüschel became too small, so members funded a larger temple built in 1927/1928 on land belonging to Hermann Lorenz. Marterbüschel then belonged to Lengefeld and was reassigned to Pockau in 1948.

The interior layout reflects beliefs that differ from mainstream Christianity, shaped by the community's own spiritual traditions. The altar displays and overall design show how this group expressed their faith through a distinctive architectural language.

The Eliasburg stands in the Marterbüschel district, which belonged to Lengefeld until 1948 and to Pockau since then. Non-members of the Gemeinschaft in Christo Jesu are generally not admitted, so the building can only be viewed from the outside; services are held once a week for members. The grave of Hermann Lorenz with its life-size figure of Jesus lies in a small park in front of the main entrance.

The building houses historical documents that the community regards as sacred texts alongside the Bible. These manuscripts represent an unusual element in the community's spiritual framework that sets them apart.
