Heilandskirche (Leipzig)
The Heilandskirche is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in the Plagwitz district of Leipzig .
history
The church was built between 1886 and 1888 based on a design by the Berlin architect Johannes Otzen . A separate church became necessary for the community of the at that time still independent village, which had grown strongly in the course of industrialization and had separated from the Kleinzschocher parish in 1885 . The church consecration took place on August 26, 1888, the name Heilandskirche has only been used since 1916, before it was simply called the Plagwitz Church.
Architecture and equipment
The Heilandskirche is a hall church and was kept in the historicizing brick Gothic style . At 86 meters, the striking, tile-roofed tower is the second highest in Leipzig after that of St. Peter's Church . Between 1980 and 1983 a renovation took place in which a false ceiling was put in at the height of the galleries, under which the community rooms are now located. The altar has been adorned with a glass relief by Hilde Giebe since 1987 .
Organs
The church houses two organs , including an organ that was built in 1888 by Wilhelm Sauer (Frankfurt / O.). In 1948 the arrangement of the organ was significantly changed by the company Gebr. Jehmlich (Dresden).

The Sauer organ has been defective since 1976 and has not been played since then. The second organ of the church is a two-manual mechanical instrument and is tuned in the middle. This Dutch organ has u. a. via a tongue register (shelf) in the second manual. It has no pedals of its own; therefor a sub-bass 16 'and two pedal coupling.
