The Martin Luther-Kirche church was built in 1833-1877 in Dresden in the center of the small Martin-Luther-Platz square. This is the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Martin Luther's church seems simply gigantic compared to neighboring buildings. Also, like most Protestant churches of that period, the church is distinguished by a mixture of neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque elements. Old stained glass windows depict scenes from the life of Jesus.

Once here, you can climb the tower and enjoy the beautiful and unusual view of Dresden.

But still the light still burns inside me, hidden under layers of meditation and survival instinct. And just one touch of his shoulder to mine, so that the smoldering flame flared up again. I look at Leonardo: at his proud profile, a mysterious look, a clenched jaw. He looks like a cold statue, and I am ready to give all the gold of the world to find out how he feels at that moment.
