Lutherkirche

The Lutherkirche is a church building in Apolda with a tall tower and brick walls defined by Gothic elements. The interior and exterior spaces display characteristic Gothic design through windows, vaults, and architectural details.

The building was constructed between 1490 and 1511 under architect Conrad Pflueger's direction. Its consecration in 1503 marks an important moment in the development of late medieval church architecture.

The church is named after Martin Luther and embodies the Protestant heritage of the town. Visitors recognize its significance for Lutheran tradition through details like the bronze doors inscribed with Luther's famous theses.

The building is freely accessible from the outside and can be viewed from different angles. For the interior, visitors should check opening times and wear respectful clothing.

The bronze doors inscribed with Luther's 95 Theses were installed in 1858 and replaced wooden doors destroyed in 1760. This symbolic renewal connects the site's long history directly to the Reformation.
