Lutherkirche

The Lutherkirche is a Protestant church in Worms whose exterior walls and interior showcase a blend of Neoclassical, Baroque, and Art Nouveau design elements. The building features a sturdy stone structure with decorative details that harmonize these different architectural styles.

The church was built in 1911 on the site of a former Guildhall destroyed in 1689 during the Nine Years' War. This construction nearly two centuries later marks the community's effort to rebuild after decades of disruption.

Clay inscriptions on the church walls display the Apostles' Creed alongside Martin Luther's interpretations of Protestant faith. Visitors can read these texts to understand what beliefs matter most to the congregation.

The building is accessible on foot and welcomes visitors interested in its architecture and religious history. Regular services take place here, so timing your visit during quiet hours is advisable.

A modern mosaic titled 'Luther before the King and the Realm' by Walter Eglin replaced a historical painting lost during 1945 bombing raids. This artwork connects the church to its recent past and shows how it recovered after destruction.
