St. Lukas Church

St. Lukas Church is a church building with Romanesque architectural elements featuring a plain exterior and modest interior worship space. The hall contains an organ with nine registers, a crucifix, hanging lights, and a baptismal font that gives the space its current character.

The building was completed between 1859 and 1861 under the direction of Gustav Möller, following the design of Prussian state architect Friedrich August Stüler. After severe damage in 1945, it was rebuilt in 1954.

The congregation actively uses this church today, and its interior displays a blend of elements from different periods. Furnishings and objects were gathered from a previous baroque church and incorporated into this space.

The building has ground-level access, and the interior is laid out openly with comfortable room to move around. Keep in mind that services take place at set times, so the church may not always be open for casual visits.

The building follows a royal basilica concept inspired by ancient Roman churches, giving it a carefully planned spatial design. Most visitors overlook this classical Roman heritage, which adds another layer to understanding the space.
