Lutherkirche

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 building was constructed between 1911 and 1913 to accommodate the expanding evangelical congregation, as the earlier Margarethenkapelle had become too small. This expansion reflects the growing population and religious communities in the district during the early 1900s.

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 is located on Lehnert Weg and is accessible to visitors, particularly during services and community events. It helps to check current opening times and programs before visiting to make the most of your time there.

The church tower houses a cast steel bell from 1913 that was specially tuned to produce the notes c-es-ges. This uncommon tuning makes the bell's sound a distinctive acoustic feature of the building.
