Martin-Luther-Kirche

Martin-Luther-Kirche rises above Germany’s historic townhouses with a sandstone tower reaching high above the surrounding roofs. The tower gives the church a strong landmark.

Built during the nineteenth century, the church combines rounded Neo-Romanesque arches with Neo-Gothic vertical lines. Ernst Giese and Paul Weidner designed the building.

Inside, the naves, a prominent transept, and large round windows shape the spacious church interior. Warm sandstone frames many of the church’s architectural details. The church sustained little war damage, so much of its original interior remains visible to visitors.

The stained glass adds colour throughout the interior. Anton Dietrich and Bruno Carl Urban created the windows, whose coloured panes bring changing light across the stone surfaces. A historic clock remains part of the church tower.

The Jehmlich organ anchors Martin-Luther-Kirche with its expanded design and electric controls. The church’s bells sound together in D major. Their bronze and cast-iron voices complete the building’s soundscape.

Wheelchair access is recorded as a feature of the church.
