    In 1896, the mechanical engineering manufacturer Johann Hampel decreed in his will that his fortune of around 750,000 marks should be used to build a church within 5 years. In order to meet the deadline, the foundation stone was first laid in 1901. Construction then began in July 1908.
    During World War II the church burned down and large parts of the church building collapsed.

    Zionskirche in Dresden, in the Südvorstadt district.

    Info:

    Also called Zionskirchruine or old Zionskirche – a church ruin used by the city of Dresden as a lapidarium.

    It was possible to renovate a war-destroyed building to house the fragments that the war had left of old Dresden. In the meantime, all provisional lapidaria have been dissolved and the finds are stored, archived, and scientifically recorded in the Zionskirche. Monuments from more recent times are also kept here or temporarily stored until reuse.
