Kirche der Heiligen Apostel, Orthodox church in central Dortmund, Germany

The Church of the Holy Apostles occupies a shared space within an evangelical church building on Luisenstrasse. The interior features Byzantine icons and traditional Orthodox architectural elements typical of Eastern Christian worship.

The Greek Orthodox community was established in 1961 following a labor recruitment agreement between Germany and Greece. The group needed a space for worship and eventually found accommodation within the evangelical church building.

The community has used the evangelical centre at Luisenstrasse 17 since 1968; over the years the interior was painted with Byzantine icons and the seating given Byzantine symbols, among them the double-headed eagle of the Palaiologos dynasty and the Christogram. In January 2009 a mosaic was placed before the entrance of the sanctuary, a copy of a Constantinople palace mosaic showing an eagle fighting a snake.

The building is centrally located in Dortmund and easily accessible. Visitors should keep in mind that this is a shared space with schedule variations based on the Orthodox calendar.

The exterior was given its historicising Orthodox character in spring 2013, work that began on 23 December 2011 and closed with the Thyranoixia, the "Opening of the Doors", on 9 May 2013. The two bronze bells sit in a rounded arch above the gabled porch, the left hanging slightly lower than the right.
