Lukaskirche, Gothic Revival church in Volkmarsdorf, Leipzig, Germany
The Lukaskirche stands with a prominent 71-meter tower topped by a spire and features five large windows on each side of the nave.
Built between 1891 and 1893, the church responded to population growth in Volkmarsdorf during Leipzig's industrial expansion in the late nineteenth century.
The church contains five tile murals at entrance archways, created by Leipzig Art Academy professor Erhard Lieberstein and manufactured by Villeroy & Boch.
The church merged with Emmauskirche community in 2002 and now serves the Evangelical-Lutheran St. Trinitatis congregation, offering regular religious services.
During the 1980s, the Lukaskirche functioned as a central meeting location for human rights and environmental activists before East Germany's political changes.
