The St. Martin garrison church of Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which had been created as a military town for much of the Saxon army. The church, built between 1893 and 1900, is divided into two separate church halls for the Protestant and Catholic denominations, of which since 1945 only the Catholic part is used in a sacred way.
The Martin Luther Church in the Dresden Neustadt is a church built in the late 19th century. It stands on the Martin Luther Square built in the same period. The building marries neo-Romanesque (especially in its interior) with neo-Gothic elements (mostly exterior).
The new synagogue was built between 1998 and 2001 on the site of the former Semper synagogue in neo-Moorish style, which stood there from 1840 until it was destroyed in the pogroms of November 1938. The new building, designed by the architectural firm Wandel Lorch, is the first synagogue to have been built in the former East Germany (GDR) since the Second World War.
The Synagogue and community centre in Dresden are part of a modernist complex from 2001. The architects of the synagogue are Rena Wandel-Hoefer and Wolfgang Lorch. The main material of the building is concrete.
