Lutherkirche, Gothic Revival church in Währing, Austria
The Lutherkirche is a Gothic Revival church building in Währing, Vienna. It features a distinctive octagonal tower topped with copper cladding, pointed arch windows and doors, detailed stonework on its facades, and a spacious interior with stained glass windows.
The building was constructed between 1896 and 1898 as the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph Anniversary Church and was then the largest Protestant house of worship in Vienna. Heavy damage from World War II air raids led to major restoration work that extended into the 1950s.
The church is named after the Protestant reformer Martin Luther and serves the evangelical community that gathers here for worship. It represents an important spiritual center for Protestants in the city and reflects how this faith tradition shaped Vienna's religious landscape.
The church is located on Martinstrasse 25 and is easy to reach by public transportation. The interior has about 767 seats and admission is free; regular services are held and visitors can view the space during opening hours.
The church's copper tower was renewed between 1932 and 1933 and has developed a green patina over the decades. This weathered surface is now a distinctive feature of the building and shows how time has shaped its appearance.
