About this audio guide
This guide to the Loschwitz Church in Dresden goes back to the early seventeen hundreds, when a village of winegrowers on the Elbe slopes had no church of its own and asked to break away from the city's Frauenkirche parish. It follows the quarrel over where the new church should stand, and the carpenter George Bähr, who drew his very first church here. Best heard by the south door, looking downhill toward the river.
