Lutherkirche, Protestant church in Nippes, Germany.

Lutherkirche is a neo-Gothic red-brick church at Siebachstraße 85 in Cologne-Nippes. A tall square tower with pointed-arched louvered openings rises on the right, beside a lower gabled section with a large traceried window. In front stands a small octagonal turret with a steep grey pyramidal roof. Construction began in 1886 and the first service was held three years later.

In 1853 only 13 of Nippes' 3,864 residents were Protestant; after the railway main workshop opened in 1861 the number rose to 145, then 570, prompting a vicar and a prayer hall consecrated in 1875. The vicariate became an independent parish in 1881 under Theodor Voswinkel. Construction of the Lutherkirche began in 1886 and the first service was held three years later.

Since 2002 the Lutherkirche has operated as Kulturkirche Köln, hosting concerts, readings and cabaret evenings. It is a regular venue of the international literature festival lit.Cologne, held each March. Proceeds from events, organised with volunteers and sponsors, support the parish's work.

The Lutherkirche stands at Siebachstraße 85 in the Sechzigviertel of Nippes, north of Cologne's centre; the nearest tram and S-Bahn stops are in Nippes. Since 2002 it has served as Kulturkirche Köln, so it is usually open to the public only during concerts, readings and other events, including the lit.Cologne festival each March.

The organ was built in 1972 by the Willi Peter workshop, with mechanical key action and electric stop action. Since 2002 the church has served as Kulturkirche Köln, hosting concerts, readings and cabaret, and it is a regular venue of the lit.Cologne literature festival each March.
