Lukaskirche, church building in Porz, Germany

The Lukaskirche is a hall church with a tower on its west facade, built from 1914 to designs by Max Benirschke and finished in 1927. The tower's two-stage helm ends in a half-barrel, modelled on the Hochzeitsturm in Darmstadt. Above the entrance gate is a depiction of the Eye of Providence; the interior was furnished in Expressionist style in 1927.

Construction began in 1914 based on designs by Max Benirschke but was delayed by World War I and economic difficulties until completion in 1927. The building was designated a protected historic monument in 1982 and remains an important example of early 20th-century architecture in the region.

The church belongs to the Protestant congregation of Porz within the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland. Its name refers to Luke the Evangelist, and the building was furnished in Expressionist style in 1927, the year it was completed. Above the entrance gate is a depiction of the Eye of Providence, a motif a visitor can pick out before entering.

The Lukaskirche stands in Porz on the right bank of the Rhine, in the eastern part of Cologne. The west tower with its arched entrance faces the street, so the doorway and the eye of providence above it are seen first. The church is a listed building, so visits are generally tied to services and community events rather than open sightseeing hours.

The tower's two-stage helm ends in a half-barrel, modelled on the Hochzeitsturm that Joseph Maria Olbrich built on the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt. Above the entrance gate is a depiction of the Eye of Providence, a detail easily missed from street level.
