Johann Georg Schmidt (1707 – 24 July 1774) was a German architect of the Dresden Baroque. He was a city councillor[1] and the architect of Dresden's second Annenkirche (St Anne's Church) and the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross).[2]
Schmidt became well known for his work during the reconstruction of Dresden after the Seven Years' War. He co-designed Dresden's second Annenkirche (St Anne's Church) and the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross).[2][1] He also collaborated with Johann Gottfried Fehre to build the Dreikönigskirche. The new church at the Schloss Weesenstein is also attributed to him.
