Lorenzkirche, Gothic parish church in Erfurt, Germany
The Lorenzkirche exhibits pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and tall windows, following the architectural principles of medieval ecclesiastical construction in central Germany.
Initially constructed in 1138 through funding from Mainz Viscount Giselbert, the church underwent Gothic reconstruction after a fire damaged the building in 1413.
The Lorenzkirche gained prominence in 1978 as the first location in East Germany where regular ecumenical peace prayers were held every Thursday.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours that explain the architectural elements and religious artifacts within the building.
The structure reveals a transition between architectural periods, as its foundation contains Romanesque elements while the upper sections display Gothic features.
