Markuskirche, Gothic Revival church in Pieschen district, Dresden, Germany

Markuskirche is a red brick church in Gothic Revival style with a 45-meter tower located in Dresden's Pieschen district. Its interior features a vaulted nave and extensive sandstone elements throughout, creating a cohesive architectural expression.

Construction began in 1886 after the Pieschen district experienced significant population growth, creating a need for a larger place of worship. This building was developed as a response to rapid urbanization and expanding community needs.

The church is named after the Evangelist Mark, whose winged lion appears above the east portal. Since 1891 four prophet statues by Robert Henze—Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel—stand at that portal, gifts of the academic council. The parish has belonged to the Evangelisch-Lutherische Laurentiusgemeinde since 1999.

The church stands on Markusplatz, framed by Bürgerstraße, Torgauer Straße and Osterbergstraße in Pieschen. The main portal with the four prophet statues and the winged lion is on the east side, while the choir, sacristy and baptistery face west. A small park with trees and shrubs surrounds the building.

The four statues at the east portal, carved by Robert Henze from French limestone and installed in 1891, depict the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel; above them sits a winged lion, the symbol of the evangelist Mark. The originals were damaged in the February 1945 air raids and later repaired.
