Alte lutherische Kirche am Kolk, Lutheran church in Elberfeld district, Wuppertal, Germany

The Alte lutherische Kirche am Kolk features a baroque architectural design with a prominent tower and stands as the second oldest church structure in Elberfeld.

The church endured multiple destructions, including severe damage during World War II in 1943, followed by extensive reconstruction efforts throughout the 1950s.

The interior contains significant artworks, including colorful stained glass windows depicting texts from the Book of Revelation designed by Eugen Keller.
