Protestant church Reinharz, Baroque church in Reinharz, Germany

The Protestant Church Reinharz is a plastered baroque brick hall church completed in 1704 in Reinharz, now part of Bad Schmiedeberg. It has a three-sided east end and a west tower with a curved, domed hood. Pointed-arch windows and buttresses give the nave a Gothic look, and entrances open on the south, west and north sides.

An inscription dates the plastered brick church to 1704, when it was built for Heinrich Löser auf Klöden, Reinharz und Meuro (1665–1705), whose patronage coat of arms sits in the altar gable. Its pointed-arch windows and buttresses imitate Gothic forms, a historicising late-baroque device used in newly created manors to legitimise the landlord's claim to rule. Restorations followed in 1951–1954 and 1996/1998.

The church belongs to the parish of Bad Schmiedeberg in the Wittenberg church district of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany. Its name refers to the village of Reinharz, now part of Bad Schmiedeberg. Inside, a patron's box (Herrschaftsloge) adjoins the south gallery, recalling the noble family that held patronage over the church.

The building is located near Bad Schmiedeberg center and can be reached on foot or by car. Visitors should check opening times in advance since the church is primarily open for services.

The north wall holds a high-baroque alabaster relief for Heinrich Löser auf Klöden, Reinharz und Meuro (1665–1705), showing his bust before a painted drapery with allegorical figures and an ancestor proof, probably made in Leipzig. Its inclusion of technical instruments such as compass, ruler, Jacob's staff and a full-circle instrument on an epitaph is unique of its kind.
