Facts and practical information

The Lutheran St. Mark's Church on Sonnenberg, Körnerplatz, was built from 1893 to 1895 to designs by Berlin architects Abesser and Kröger in the style of North German brick Gothic. The double-helmeted tower, visible from afar, is striking. The color glazing is still preserved in the original. The organ at that time was made by the organ builder Jehmlich from Dresden. The original painting of the walls is only partially preserved. The church has 1350 seats.
