St. Lukaskirche, Lutheran church in Fuhlsbüttel, Hamburg, Germany

St. Lukaskirche is a red-brick church on Hummelsbütteler Kirchenweg, rebuilt in 1937–1938 by Bernhard Hopp from Julius Faulwasser's 1893 neo-Romanesque church. Its compact tower with a curved helm and the steep, low-sweeping roof rest on buttresses and round side-arch arcades. Inside, a wooden barrel vault with close-set ribs covers the aisle, with pews, a gallery organ and pale green walls between the timber.

St. Lukas was consecrated on 9 July 1893 as a daughter church of St. Johannis in Eppendorf, built to plans by Julius Faulwasser in Neo-Romanesque style on a site midway between Fuhlsbüttel and Langenhorn. In 1937 Bernhard Hopp lengthened and widened the nave and, after the Reich Aviation Ministry ordered the 39-metre tower cut down, replaced it with the present compact tower; the rebuilt church was consecrated on the fourth Sunday of Advent 1938. The former sacristy became a memorial chapel in 1961–1963.

The church is named after the Evangelist Luke, a name adopted in 1898 alongside the Markuskirche as daughter churches of St. Johannis in Eppendorf. Inside, the north sacristy was converted in 1961–1963 into a memorial chapel for parishioners' fallen sons, with a memorial wall of engraved names and a stained-glass window by Claus Wallner. Since January 2002 a second wall commemorates the civilian victims of National Socialism in Fuhlsbüttel, its relief tiles made by pupils of the Gymnasium Alstertal.

St. Lukas stands on Hummelsbütteler Kirchenweg, roughly midway between the old villages of Fuhlsbüttel and Langenhorn. The main entrance is the pointed-arched doorway at the base of the squat brick tower; two granite columns from the 1893 tower survive in the porch inside. The interior is entered at ground level, with pews flanking a central aisle.

The 1937-1938 rebuild had to be built without iron beams because steel went to the military, so Bernhard Hopp braced the wide roof with buttresses and round side-aisle arches. Fresh timber replaced the seasoned wood that was requisitioned; cracks in the beams still show it. The tower was cut to 23 m because of the nearby airport.
