Lukaskirche (Hanover)
The Lukaskirche is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Hanover-Vahrenwald .
history
The Lukas parish was founded at the end of the 19th century by separating the parish from the Apostle Church . The neo-Gothic church building was built by Karl Börgemann from 1899 to 1901 . The church was consecrated in 1901. From 1931 to 1933 the church painter Rudolf Schäfer created altarpieces that can be seen in the church today. Another original piece of equipment, the Luther statue signed with the name "Krake", has been in the tower foyer of the Luther Church since 1984 .
The church was almost completely destroyed in one of the air raids on Hanover during World War II. After a new building from 1962 to 1967, it was inaugurated in 1967. The church tower (without the destroyed spire), which was integrated into the new building, has been preserved from the historic building. Since the new building, the church has another bell tower.
The church became known in the post-war years through the Eastern worship services founded by Werner Petersmann , which were supposed to give the expellees from the East a church home.
organ
The organ was built in 1972 by Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau (Hamburg). The slider chest instrument has 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions are electric.
