Luther Church

The Luther Church is an evangelical church in the southern part of Cologne. The church forms its own district within the Evangelical Community of Cologne. The Evangelical Community of Cologne belongs to the Evangelical Church District of Cologne-Mitte, which is part of the Evangelical Church Association of Cologne and Region.

Around the turn of the century, the number of evangelical inhabitants within the city walls – despite the separation of the suburban communities – was almost 50,000 people. The presbytery decided to build a fourth church in the southern area of Cologne, in addition to the Antoniterkirche, Trinitatiskirche, and Christuskirche. To this end, it announced an architectural competition in 1902. The project that was awarded the 1st prize was designed by the Berlin architects Johannes Vollmer and Heinrich Jassoy. Foundation work began in January 1904. The ceremonial laying of the foundation stone took place on May 8, 1904.
