Johann George Schmidt or Johann Georg(e) Schmi(e)d (1707, Fürstenwalde bei Geising - 24 July 1774, Dresden) was a German architect of the Dresden Baroque. He was brother-in-law, student and successor of George Bähr.

Work

He became well known for his building, in the reconstruction of Dresden after the Seven Years' War. He designed Dresden's second Annenkirche, and cooperated with Christian Friedrich Exner [Wikidata] as designer of the Kreuzkirche and with Johann Gottfried Fehre [Wikidata] to build the Dreikönigskirche [Wikidata]. The new church at the Schloss Weesenstein is also ascribed to him.
