Trinitatiskirche Riesa, Lutheran church in Riesa, Germany.
The Trinitatiskirche is a church in Romanesque Revival style distinguished by a 75-meter tower and a cross-shaped floor plan. The building combines these structures with limestone elements that define its exterior.
The building emerged from an architectural competition with 91 submitted designs and was planned by Jürgen Kröger. The church opened its doors on December 11, 1909.
The church houses colored glass windows by Emil Nöllmer that fill the interior with filtered light. The organ built by Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden ranks among the largest in the region and shapes the sound of services.
The location serves between Pentecost and Reformation Day as the main place for worship of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation. Visits should be registered in advance.
The original bronze bells were melted down and used for armament purposes in 1917. Today, cast steel bells ring in their place.
