Evangelische Kirche Eichlinghofen
Evangelische Kirche Eichlinghofen stands in Dortmund as a Romanesque hall church whose origins reach back to the twelfth century. Narrow, corridor-like side aisles flank the open interior.
Originally a single-room church, it gained side aisles in the early thirteenth century, becoming one of Westphalia’s early hall churches. The transept and sacristy date from 1898 and 1899. During that expansion, the choir and apse moved about six metres east, while the three-part apse window group regained its original style. Nazarene windows from 1846 show Jesus with Peter and Paul.
Johann Georg Alberti built the organ in 1705, and 195 original pipes remain after later alterations. It stands as a protected monument on the gallery. One of the few surviving memorial plaques for soldiers of the Liberation Wars commemorates Franz Heinrich Klemp, who received the Iron Cross, Second Class, after his death.
