The Sophienkirche (Saint Sophia's Church), Dresden stood on the northeast corner of the Postplatz, (post office square) in Dresden's old town, before its destruction by the allied bombing raids on February 13, 1945. It was the only Gothic Church in the city. In 1250 The Order of Friars Minor, Franciscans, built a monastery and small church at the location of the future Sophienkirche. Starting in 1331 the original structure was demolished and a larger church started construction with two identical choir areas included. At the southeast corner of the new church, a private chapel was built by the founding family Busmann around 1400 to which the Dresden Mayor, at the time, Lorenz Busmann was a member and also later buried there. After the Reformation, the Sophienkirche stood empty for decades before for it was revived in 1610 and reopened by Sophie von Brandenburg as a Lutheran church. Starting in 1737 it served as a Evangelist Church.
