The Stiftung Frauenkirche Dresden is a legally capable foundation under civil law in Dresden established on 28 June 1994. Its purpose was initially the reconstruction of the Dresden Frauenkirche according to George Bähr's historical model. Since the completion of the work and the church consecration on the eve of Reformation Festival in 2005, the focus of the foundation's work has been on the preservation of the building and its use for church services and as a venue for holding symposia, lectures, concerts and exhibitions. The Frauenkirche is intended to serve as a landmark for tolerance and peace among peoples and religions.The foundation is based in a commercial building at Georg-Treu-Platz 3 between the Albertinum, the Kunstakademie and the Coselpalais facing the Frauenkirche. In 2019, the foundation had 35 full-time employees. About ten times as many volunteers help shape life in the Frauenkirche.The foundation is supported in its work by the Society for the Promotion of the Frauenkirche Dresden e. V., founded in 2003. It continues the work of the "Society for the Promotion of the Reconstruction of the Frauenkirche Dresden e. V.", which arose from a citizens' initiative in the autumn of 1989.

The Dresden Frauenkirche (German: Dresdner Frauenkirche, IPA: [ˈfʁaʊənˌkɪʁçə], Church of Our Lady) is a Lutheran church in Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony. An earlier church building was Catholic until it became Protestant during the Reformation. The old church was replaced in the 18th century by a larger Baroque Lutheran building. It is considered an outstanding example of Protestant sacred architecture, featuring one of the largest domes in Europe. It was originally built as a sign of the will of the citizens of Dresden to remain Protestant after their ruler had converted to Catholicism. It now also serves as a symbol of reconciliation between former warring enemies. Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004. The Frauenkirche is often called a cathedral, but it is not the seat of a bishop; the church of the Landesbischof of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Saxony is the Church of the Cross. Once a month, an Anglican Evensong is held in English, by clergy from St. George's Anglican Church, Berlin.

However huge areas and parcels of the place remained untilled. After the fall of Communism and German reunification the decision was made to restore the Neumarkt to its pre-war look.
