St. Stephan's Church
St. Stephan's Church, Lutheran church in Ironbound, Newark, United States
St. Stephan's Church stands at the intersection of five streets in the Ironbound section, featuring exterior medallions and Romanesque architectural elements.
German Lutheran immigrants established this church in 1874, initially naming it The German-American United Church of Christ with George Staehln as architect.
The congregation transformed from German-speaking services until the 1960s to currently serving Portuguese and Spanish-speaking community members.
The church location near Newark Penn Station and Newark International Airport provides easy access for both local residents and visitors.
The church building appeared in the 2005 film War of the Worlds, where its facade simulated movement during an alien spacecraft emergence scene.
