Lukaskirche (Mannheim)
The Lukaskirche is a Protestant church in the Mannheim district of Almenhof . It was built between 1965 and 1967 according to plans by Carlfried Mutschler .
history
At the end of the 19th century, the population in Mannheim-Neckarau had grown rapidly due to the large influx of workers during industrialization , so that at the beginning of 1904 a vicariate was approved at the Matthäuskirche as the forerunner of another parish. In the following year, the community was divided and a north and a south parish were set up. Later, due to the construction activity, the north parish grew faster than the south parish, so that the parish areas had to be adjusted several times.
After the Second World War, the northern parish received its own church in the eastern Almenhof. The foundation stone was laid on October 3, 1965 and the St. Luke Church, built according to the plans of the Mannheim architect Carlfried Mutschler, was inaugurated on March 5, 1967 . With the Markuskirche , also on the Almenhof, the Matthäuskirche in Neckarau and the Johanniskirche in Mannheim-Lindenhof , the four neighboring churches were named after the four evangelists . The organ was inaugurated in 1969.
description
The Lukaskirche was built in the eastern part of Almenhof. It rises above a square plan. The original exposed concrete of the cubic building was covered with a coat of paint during a renovation. At the base of the 20 meter high bell tower is the inscription “I want to get up and go to my father” ( Lk 15.18 EU ). Otto Herbert Hajek created the reliefs .
The folding roof rests on eight pillars. A continuous skylight runs between it and the outer walls . The Steinmeyer organ has 22 registers with 1614 pipes . The bell comes from Bachert Karlsruhe.
In 2006–2007, the church was rebuilt to make it barrier-free by Carlfried Mutschler's former partner , Ludwig Schwöbel .
