Lutherkirche, Gothic Revival church in Asseln district, Dortmund, Germany.

The Lutherkirche is a Gothic Revival church building in Dortmund's Asseln district featuring a sandstone facade with pointed arch windows designed according to Protestant construction principles. The structure displays characteristic elements of the Gothic style with soaring vaults and vertical lines that draw the eye upward.

The church was first documented in 1059, when a small wooden predecessor stood here; a 1216 charter names it "Capella in Aslen". Asseln became an independent parish in 1243, and around 1250 a stone church about 7 by 7 metres replaced the wooden one. In 1904 the old nave was demolished, and the Gothic Revival new building by architect Gustav Mucke was consecrated on 13 June 1906, keeping the medieval tower and choir.

The church serves as a spiritual hub for the evangelical congregation of Asseln, where members gather for worship and life events like baptisms and weddings. The building anchors the community's religious life and provides space for regular gatherings and meaningful ceremonies.

The church stands at Asselner Hellweg 118 in Dortmund-Asseln, near the Wickede-Asseln railway station that once received the sandstone blocks for the 1904–1906 building. The west and south sides carry the main facades, each with a large rose window and decorated entrance portals; the south rose window is framed by mosaic medallions. The medieval tower and the old rectangular choir, now used as a funeral hall, are integrated into the structure.

The medieval west tower was kept when the new church was built and given an eight-sided spire in 1777, when it was raised by up to 20 metres. An external striking bell was hung on that spire. The old Gothic rectangular choir became a mourning hall.
