The Dresden Ward Church Building

This building was built during the Russian Occupation under their watchful eye. It is one of the most beautiful chapels in Germany


Front View from across the street.



Some of the foliage around the church.


This statue of Carl Maeser was made for his home town in Meissen. A missionary couple went into the local churches with fliers about the placement. This upset the local clergy and the town leaders refused to let them put it up. They ended up bringing it to Dresden and putting it in the church yard since he was one of the church leaders here.


The fence and sidewalk in front.


The back of the church and the entrance to the Family History Center.


When we arrived at church one Sunday Morning we saw this beautiful tree. Fall had arrived!

I love how the chapels over in Germany have lots of windows in them, and make use of natural light. For some reason, here in the states it seems we always put curtains over the few windows we have in our chapels.
