Kirche Marienbrunn, Lutheran church in Marienbrunn, Germany.
Kirche Marienbrunn is a church building and heritage monument in the Marienbrunn neighborhood near Leipzig, featuring Art Deco design from the 1920s. The structure displays a simple style without a traditional steeple and accommodates around 180 people in its main hall.
Construction started on October 31, 1927, following a petition from 366 residents, and the building opened on September 2, 1928. Since 2020, it has been administered by the Evangelical Lutheran Church Community of Southern Leipzig.
The 1950 altar window by artist Paula Jordan depicts the legend of Saint Christopher carrying the Christ child across water; the same motif appears on the parish's official seal. The congregation gathers here for services, and the hall seats about 180 people.
The church stands at Lerchenrain 1 in Marienbrunn, a short walk from the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. The entrance is the round-arched doorway in the centre of the facade, reached past a wooden fence and front garden. Because the building has no tower, look for the two-storey yellow plastered house with the red hipped roof.
The bronze bell in the wooden frame was cast with a lower diameter of 515 millimetres and weighs about 80 kilograms, sounding near g-sharp. It is still pulled by rope by hand, and the same Christophorus motif used on the window also appears on the parish seal.
