THE JACOBIK CHURCH CHEMNITZ
A story over 800 years

The Jakobikirche is next to the buildings of the former Benedictine monastery on the Schlossberg the most valuable monument of the city of Chemnitz from pre-industrial times. Its art historical importance extends far beyond Chemnitz. Since its founding, St. Jakobi has been the church council and citizenry, and until the 19th century, together with the Council and the Gewandhaus, it was the spiritual center of the city.
The high-Gothic hall church with choir was created in several stages between 1350 and 1412 on the foundations of an older Romanesque complex. These could be determined during excavations after 1945. Throughout the centuries, various alterations have changed the appearance of the church again and again. The most serious cut was the destruction on March 5, 1945. Along with Chemnitz city center, the Jakobikirche also fell to rubble and ashes. Since 1949, the choir room, which was furnished as an emergency church, could be used again. The interior design of the nave dragged on with long interruptions until 2009.
