St George's German Lutheran Church, German Lutheran church in Whitechapel, London, United Kingdom.
St George's German Lutheran Church features 18th-century box pews, a central double-decker pulpit, and traditional Lutheran architectural elements within its brick structure.
Founded in 1762 by sugar boiler Dietrich Beckman, the church served German Lutherans until 1995 and remains the oldest German Lutheran church in the United Kingdom.
The church maintains a collection of 750 books started by Gustav von Anton, now transferred to the British Library for preservation and research purposes.
The Historic Chapels Trust manages the building, offering guided group visits, organ recitals, concerts, and space for various congregations to conduct worship services.
During the 1930s, Pastor Julius Rieger established a relief center at the church to assist Jewish refugees, with theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer preaching there in 1935.
