Wurzen. Jürgen Schmidt still vividly remembers September 9, 2004 – the late afternoon when the then Prime Minister of Saxony, Georg Milbradt (CDU), climbed into the excavator to signal the start of construction of the new Mulde Bridge. Thirty-three months later – on May 23, 2007 – the mammoth project concluded with a celebration and fireworks display.

Between 1509 and 1513, Bishop Johann VI of Saalhausen had the chancel added, whose ribbed cell vault still stands today. The church tower was also completed during this period.[1] In 1499, the church burned down completely and was rebuilt in 1513 in the late Gothic style. With the help of Elector Johann Friedrich, the pastor Johann Hofmann from Thammenhain became the first Evangelical Lutheran pastor at St. Wenceslai on September 12, 1539. Since then, the church has been Protestant.[2] During the Thirty Years' War – during the "Wurzen Martyrdom Week" in March 1637 – it was destroyed again. In 1663, the citizens of Wurzen began its reconstruction. In 1673, St. Wenceslai was completed as a post-Gothic hall church with a four-bay nave and octagonal pillars.[3] In 1673, lightning struck the church tower, causing part of it to collapse. As a result, it was shortened to the height of the bell tower in 1679, rebuilt as an octagon, and given a Baroque, slate-covered dome complete with lantern, spire, and turret finial.[4] After the extensive renovation in 1873 and 1874, the church, partly because its gallery had been equipped with two rows of seats, offered space for 880 people – a number appropriate for the then prosperous small town with a burgeoning economy and a high proportion of residents belonging to the Evangelical Lutheran denomination. The next major renovation took place between 1926 and 1927.[5] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadtkirche_St._Wenceslai

After Wurzen was first mentioned in a document by Emperor Otto I in 961 as "vurzine civitas" (as the center of the castle ward at the Mulde crossing on the old salt road from Magdeburg to Bohemia), the Wencels suburb, among others, soon developed as an old settlement center with its own church of St. Wenceslas. St. Wenceslas (according to an old folk tradition) is considered a saint of merchants and traders, but also of thieves, robbers, and highwaymen. Our parish church of St. Wenceslas, which defines the townscape, stands on Sperlingsberg. The walled-in head of a Slavic idol sacrificial stone, on the inside left corner of the north portal, indicates the hill's Slavic past as a sanctuary: a symbol of the victory of the Christian church over the Slavic nature religion. Thus, the idol must now support the church building. It must be noted that this interpretation is not scientifically proven. Its location as a city church "outside the walls" is considered a unique feature. Hence the saying recorded in Schöttgen's Chronicle (1717): "When the people of Wurzen are supposed to go to church, they run out the gate." It was founded in the mid-13th century and first mentioned in a document in 1275. In 1340 AD, it is mentioned as a "little chapel" in the St. Wenceslas churchyard and "incorporated" into the Wurzen collegiate chapter, meaning that services and income from St. Wenceslas accrued to the canons. As the main church, it soon replaced the older St. James's Church, which by 1340 was only ministered to by a "vicarius" (a vicar who "served further up the hill"). The current church dates essentially from the beginning of the 16th century. The date on the tower entrance, M:CCCCC:XIII (1513), probably indicates the provisional completion of a new building during this period. It is a late Gothic hall church (four-bay nave with octagonal pillars). The mighty square tower still has a gable roof in Dilich's 1628 city view.
