Church Prohlis, Lutheran church in Prohlis, Dresden, Germany

Kirche Prohlis is a church building in Dresden distinguished by its tent-like roof with a small cross at the gable, harmoniously integrated among residential high-rises. The structure contains spaces for worship services, community gatherings, and programs serving people of various ages.

The church opened in 1982 as part of the construction program Churches for New Towns, addressing the needs of the growing community in this newly developed area. A distinctive 30-meter tower was added after German reunification, defining the building's skyline profile.

The church's small cross on the main gable is what marks it as a church, since the building was designed as a plain "hut of God" rather than competing with the surrounding high-rises. Congregation life runs from preschool to senior groups, with church music, children's and youth work, and community festivals. Since 1 January 2021 the Prohlis and Leubnitz parishes are united again, forming the Dresden Süd parish association with Lockwitz, Bannewitz and Strehlen.

The building is easily reached on foot through the residential blocks of the neighborhood, and its distinctive roof shape makes it simple to locate even when unfamiliar with the area. Visitors should know that the spaces are used primarily for community activities during the week and for worship services on weekends.

The 30-metre bell tower, designed by Eberhard Bauer, was only possible after the end of the GDR and was consecrated on 22 January 2006. Its two bronze bells were cast by the Perner firm in Passau: the Love Bell bears the inscription "God is love", the Faith Bell "Persevere in prayer".
