St. Laurentius

St. Laurentius is a Catholic church built from red brick with a high vaulted basement and a roof turret housing three bronze bells from Apolda. The building occupies a central position in Reudnitz-Thonberg and shows typical architecture from the industrial era.

Construction completed in 1893 to handle the city's rapid growth and provide relief to the existing Propstei church. The project was a response to increasing population numbers in this district during the Industrial era.

The interior holds colorful stained glass windows created between 1973 and 1981 by artist Gottfried Zawadzki from Kamenz. These windows shape the light and mood you experience when visiting.

The church is located at Stotteritzer Strasse 47 in Leipzig and is easily reached by public transport. Visitors should check opening hours in advance, as the building is open mainly during services and special occasions.

The surrounding area was redesigned as Campus Lorenzo, combining residential units, assisted living, educational centers, and community meeting spaces in one location. This neighborhood shows how a historic church can become part of a modern community project.
