The lake of the former church quarry has the outline of a heart. And in the middle of the indentation stands the Kirchberg, which is about 80 meters high, 35 million years old and crowned by the mountain church. A stunning panorama!

But first things first: The mountain has been around for many millions of years. In the 13th century, a first church was built on its hump, which was worn down by the Ice Age, and was expanded over the following centuries. From the 15th to the 19th century, granite porphyry was quarried around the Kirchberg so excessively in places that a deep fracture was formed, which surrounded the church on three sides. Today the quarry is flooded and has been designated a "National Geotope".

Unfortunately I didn't have very nice weather but that didn't matter what a unique position for a place of worship, at the back of the church is as unique as Wandriljef a war memorial.
The path around the Seebruch repeatedly offers great views of the church.

Again something completely different is it in autumn when there is fog on the water.

The Beucha granite porphyry from the Kirchbruch - according to the spiritual composition a microsyenogranite - is mainly known as a stone during the construction of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig. The memorial was inaugurated in 1913 to commemorate the centenary of the decisive battle in the liberation war against Napoleonic France. Among other things, this stone was used in the construction of the “old town hall”, the Gewandhaus and the Leipzig train station, to mention a few well-known buildings. A trip is a must for every hobby historian.
