Luther Church, Art Nouveau church in Wiesbaden, Germany
Luther Church is an Art Nouveau brick church with white plaster walls and a steel-supported roof that rises approximately 50 meters above the streets of Wiesbaden. The building combines functional design with early modern aesthetic elements, creating a striking presence in the city.
This Protestant church resulted from an architectural competition in 1905 won by Friedrich Pützer, with construction completed between 1908 and 1910. It represents a turning point in early 20th-century Protestant church design with modern planning principles.
The interior layout follows the Wiesbaden Program, which positions the altar, pulpit, and organ to encourage active congregation participation during worship. This design principle became influential in Protestant church planning throughout the region.
The church is located at Sartoriusstraße 16 and opens for regular worship services to visitors interested in experiencing its architectural features. When visiting, check the service schedule and wear respectful clothing if active services are taking place.
The interior houses three different organs, including the original 1911 Walcker organ positioned behind the altar. This uncommon placement creates a special acoustic experience during worship services.
