The Chapel of the Resurrection of Christ in Dachau, belonging to the Berlin and German Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, was built in 1994 on the grounds of the former Dachau concentration camp. The chapel's design was created by architect V. I. Utkin, and it was erected in memory of compatriots who perished in Dachau and other camps of the Third Reich. The chapel is made in the style of wooden tent churches of the Russian North, reflecting their austere beauty. The logs and all details were manufactured in the Vladimir region, and the assembly was carried out by eight contractors from the reconnaissance company of the 320th engineering school based in Glazov. Today, the chapel is one of the religious monuments on the grounds of the former concentration camp alongside Catholic and Protestant churches.

Archbishop Longin (Talypin) of Klin played a significant role in the creation of the chapel, appealing to the Russian Orthodox Church and Russian authorities for its construction to commemorate the victims of Nazi camps. The Holy Resurrection Chapel became the first and only Orthodox church on the territory of former concentration camps in Germany.

On the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, the chapel was consecrated. On April 29, 1995, the day marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau prisoners, Metropolitan Nikolai (Kutepev) of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas performed the rite of great consecration. On November 20, 1995, during a visit to Germany, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and all Rus visited the church and served a memorial liturgy there.

Later, the Holy Resurrection Parish of Dachau and Munich was established. On August 28, 1996, Archbishop Theophan (Galinsky) of Berlin and Germany ordained and sent Priest Nikolai Zabelich to serve in this parish. The first Divine Liturgy in the chapel took place on September 8, 1996, on the feast day of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God and the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia.

Since then, services in the chapel have been held regularly. In 1999, the former mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, gifted a large icon of St. George the Victorious to the chapel.

The chapel's icons, such as "The Agony in the Garden" and "The Kiss of Judas," create a special atmosphere, reminding of the sufferings of Jesus Christ and the prisoners. The altar icon depicts the resurrected Savior leading the prisoners out of Dachau. This icon and four other central images were painted by German iconographer Angela Hauser. A revered icon is the image of St. Nicholas of Serbia (Velimirovic), who was also a prisoner in Dachau from September 1944 to February 1945.
