Stadtkirche Zum Heiligen Namen Gottes Radeberg, Lutheran church in Radeberg, Germany
The Stadtkirche Zum Heiligen Namen Gottes is a church building in Radeberg with sandstone walls and large windows, situated on a hilltop near the city center. The structure's imposing architecture shapes the town's appearance and remains visible from multiple angles around the area.
The current building was constructed starting in 1730 following a church fire in 1714 that destroyed the earlier structure. The new construction was realized under Superintendent Valentin Ernst Löscher and has defined the town since.
The church serves as a gathering place where people mark important occasions and milestones in their lives. Regular services and celebrations bring the community together around shared beliefs and traditions.
Visitors can find the church at An der Kirche 5 and may attend regular services or view the interior during open hours. It helps to check opening times in advance, as the building is not always freely accessible.
The baptismal font from 1730 displays intricately carved biblical scenes in sandstone that represent Saxon baroque craftsmanship of the era. This ornate work is frequently overlooked, though it stands as one of the first artworks visitors encounter inside.
