Frauenkirche (Dresden, gotischer Vorgängerbau)
Church in Dresden, Germany, dating from 1400
The Predecessor Gothic church of the Frauenkirche, Dresden was the predecessor building of the now‐famous baroque Frauenkirche designed by George Bähr. It was constructed in the 14th century and, despite its location outside the city walls, remained the mother and principal church of Dresden until the 16th century. The introduction of Protestantism in Saxony in 1539 marked a turning point in the church’s history; worship services were suspended there and held exclusively in the Kreuzkirche (Dresden). Only in 1559 were services resumed in the Frauenkirche, although by then it had been relegated
