Tbilisi Lutheran church

Tbilisi Lutheran church, Lutheran church in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Tbilisi Lutheran Church was a neo-Gothic church built at the corner of Kirchnaya (now Marjanishvili) and Mikhailovskaya (now David Aghmashenebeli Avenue) streets. Designed by architect Leopold Bielefeld, it was consecrated on 18 May 1897. The building no longer exists: it was demolished in 1946–1947 during the reconstruction of Marjanishvili Square, and two residential and one administrative building now occupy the site.

German families who had come to the Caucasus hoping to reach Mount Ararat settled instead in the colony of New Tbilisi, annexed to the city in 1862. The congregation's church, designed by architect Leopold Bielefeld in the neo-Gothic style, was consecrated on 18 May 1897 at the corner of Kirchnaya and Mikhailovskaya streets. Closed by the communist authorities in the 1930s, it was demolished in 1946–1947 during the reconstruction of Marjanishvili Square, and housing and an administrative building took its place.

The church gave its name to the surrounding district: the street was called Kirichnaya and the area Kirkis ubani, from the German Kirche. During the Second World War the building served as a warehouse for radio receivers confiscated from Tbilisi residents. It was demolished in 1946–1947 during the reconstruction of Marjanishvili Square.

The church stood at the corner of Kirchnaya Street, now Marjanishvili Street, and Mikhailovskaya Street, now David Aghmashenebeli Avenue. The building no longer exists: it was demolished in 1946–1947 during the reconstruction of Marjanishvili Square, and two residential blocks and one administrative building were later put up on the site. Look for the square itself, which took its present shape after that reconstruction.

The church gave its name to the surrounding district: the street was called Kirichnaya and the area around it Kirkis Ubani, after the German word Kirche. The building itself was demolished in 1946–1947 during the reconstruction of Marjanishvili Square.
