Tips

Dresden Elbland

The Kreuzkirche is one of Dresden's many landmarks in the heart of the old town. On January 21, 1818, Caspar David Friedrich and Caroline Bommer, the daughter of a Dresden blue dyer, exchanged vows in the Dresden Kreuzkirche. Their children Emma Johanna and Agnes Adelheid as well as their son Gustav Adolf were also baptized here.

The nave of the Kreuzkirche, which includes the central nave and two side aisles, offers space for around 1,000 visitors.

This central Dresden church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin “Santa Croce”), bases its patronage on the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back to a large extent to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the “Milvian Bridge” in front of Rome and in the year 312 for a long time the persecution ended with the “tolerance edict” of Milan). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and from there brought numerous relics with her to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The church celebrates the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross – called “Exaltation of the Cross” – on September 14th.
