The St. Pankratius Church in Engelsdorf is a church building of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony in Leipzig 's Engelsdorf district in the east of the city.

development

The church was built around 1170 on a hill on the outskirts. The square basement floors of the Romanesque choir tower date from this time . In 1832 the dilapidated nave was torn down and a new one built in the classical style and with a three-sided gallery , which was structured outside with pilasters . A higher, now octagonal tower section was placed on top of the square church tower in 1863.

One of the special features of the church is its belfry: As there were doubts as to whether the historic tower masonry could cope with the vibrations of the bells, a free-standing oak belfry was built inside the tower from ground level, not connected to the tower.

The church in Engelsdorf has been called St. Pankratius since 1520. In the contract book in the Leipzig council archives there is an entry on a document: "Mathias Schulz owes the St. Pankratius church in Engelsdorf 61 guilders 7 groschen".

The church and the roughly 800-year-old steeple have recently been extensively reconstructed: for example, new stairs and tower windows have been installed in the tower, beam heads replaced, floorboards laid and cracks grouted in the tower. For the community festival on July 10, 2005, the clock tower of the demolished St. Mark's Church in Leipzig was put into operation with an hourly and quarter-hour strike. At the same time, the two missing dials on the east and west sides of the tower were added so that the time can be seen on all four sides of the tower.

An apse was originally added to the tower - its floor plan was marked by paving in 2005.
