The Russian Memorial Church of Saint Alexius is a Russian Orthodox church in Leipzig, Germany. It was inaugurated and dedicated from October 17–18, 1913, one hundred years after the Battle of Leipzig. The memorial commemorates the 127,000 Russian troops who served in the Battle, including the 22,000 who died freeing the Germans. In 1813, the German-speaking Austrians and Prussians had been united with the Russians in their battle against Napoleon and the French. Less than a year after the dedication of this centenary memorial, a different set of alliances resulted in World War I.
The church was named after St. Alexius, a Metropolitan of Moscow from the 14th century. Many external and internal features make this church unique, including a wall of icons, a large chandelier, tablets bearing inscriptions on either side of the doors and four coffins containing the remains of soldiers who fought in the Battle of Leipzig. Its fortunes have varied, partly based on Leipzig's government. After Russians occupied Leipzig in World War II, they began to take care of the church and inserted a new plaque extending the purpose of the church to commemorate Russian soldiers down to 1945.
The church continues to serve as a place of worship for a congregation of about 300 with a weekly attendance of about 100. It is part of the Russian Orthodox Church. Both interior and exterior portions of the church have undergone necessary renovations in recent decades. Structural work began in 2012 in preparation for the building's centennial and restoration of the wall of icons was completed in 2018.
