Lutherkirche Berlin-Wilhelmsruh, Gothic Revival church in Wilhelmsruh, Germany.
Lutherkirche Berlin-Wilhelmsruh is a red brick church built in the Gothic Revival style, located at Hielscherstraße 31. The structure features a low tower with three sound openings along its sides and a pointed roof, with an interior defined by a wooden barrel vault ceiling.
The church was designed and built by architect Fritz Gottlob between 1905 and 1907, officially opening on October 27, 1906. Though the building witnessed both World Wars, a small bronze bell from the same year survived these turbulent decades intact.
The church is named after Martin Luther, connecting visitors to Protestant traditions through its architecture and interior. A statue of Luther stands in the forecourt, serving as a focal point for the local community and its spiritual heritage.
The building's exterior is easy to explore from multiple angles, allowing visitors to observe the tower's acoustic openings and architectural details clearly. Access to the interior and exact visiting times should be confirmed in advance, as this is an active place of worship.
A small bronze bell cast in 1906 bearing the inscription FRANZ SCHILLING GOSS MICH is the only surviving original bell from the church's founding year. This rare object endured both World Wars unscathed, making it a valuable link to the building's early history.
