The list of church buildings in the Chemnitz deanery contains Roman Catholic churches of the deanery in the city of Chemnitz , in the Erzgebirge district and in the district of central Saxony in the diocese of Dresden-Meißen .

history

The last bishop of the old diocese of Meißen , Johann IX. von Haugwitz , appointed Johann Leisentrit as diocesan administrator for the remaining Catholic areas in Lusatia in 1559 . With that the old diocese of Meissen in Saxony (Mark Meissen) perished. The remnants of the former diocesan area were named the Apostolic Prefecture of Lusatia with its seat in Bautzen . In 1921 the new diocese of Meißen was founded with its seat in Bautzen, in 1979/80 the name was changed to Diocese of Dresden-Meißen and the bishopric was moved to Dresden.
