Lutherkirche, Protestant church in Cottbus, Germany

Lutherkirche is a Protestant church building in Cottbus designed in the Art Nouveau style with an elongated plan and saddle roof. Its main entrance displays neobaroque relief carvings, and the interior arranges wooden pews in thirteen rows to seat around 250 worshippers.

The Protestant congregation founded a building association in 1906 to acquire land and finance construction, resulting in the church's opening in 1911. The building underwent major restoration work from 2018 to 2019 to update systems while respecting its original character.

This church serves as a spiritual and community gathering place for the Protestant congregation in Cottbus. The bright interior with its white decorative details reflects the values of clarity and openness important to Protestant worship.

The church is open during worship services and can sometimes be visited on weekdays, though hours vary depending on activities. Visitors should be prepared to respect ongoing religious functions and ceremonies that may take place during their visit.

The Jehmlich organ occupies a distinctive L-shaped gallery and was refurbished in 2021. Beyond its role in worship, this instrument hosts public concerts and musical performances that draw audiences beyond the regular congregation.
