Guided Story
You're standing in front of a striking example of early 20th-century modern architecture. Designed by Dresden architect Rudolf Bitzan, the Kreuzkirche rises between Arndt and Reuter Street. This Protestant church, built between 1913 and 1916, is a remarkable testament to the architectural style of its time. Notice the clean lines and simple elegance of the building, hallmarks of modern architecture. Behind you, the Kreuzkirchenpark provides a quiet contrast to the urban setting of the southern district. Operated by the Evangelical Kreuzkirchengemeinde Görlitz, the church serves as a place of faith and community in the city.
