Große Kirche Aplerbeck, Protestant church in Aplerbeck, Dortmund, Germany

The Große Kirche Aplerbeck features three naves with five bays, buttresses, tracery windows, and a steeple reaching 60.90 meters in height.

The church opened on December 15, 1869, replacing the medieval Georgskirche to accommodate the growing population during the industrialization of Aplerbeck.

The building houses significant artworks, including an 1885 Crucifixion painting by Paul Händler and an organ constructed by Schulze & Söhne.

Located at Märtmannstraße 13 in Dortmund, the Gothic Revival church now functions primarily as a concert venue for musical performances.

The structure earned the nickname Black Church due to its darkened ceiling, before receiving its current designation as Große Kirche Aplerbeck.
