Luther House Wesel
The Lutherhaus in Wesel , built in 1729, is a former church of the Lutheran congregation.
In a conflict between the Reformed and Lutherans, the latter were not allowed to form a community of their own from 1578 in the interests of the uniformity of the Wesel Reformation development in the city. It was not until the influx of Brandenburg and thus predominantly Lutheran officials in the 17th century that a residential building was rented as a place of worship at the intersection of Korbmacherstrasse and Beguinenstrasse from 1608. The house was later acquired and converted into a church with a square floor plan in 1729.
During the Second World War , the church was destroyed except for the surrounding walls and the vaulted cellar. During the reconstruction, the previous double lofts were not rebuilt. Instead, the room was divided by a false ceiling so that community rooms were created on the ground floor, which have since been converted into an evangelical counseling center. Above that, a large hall with a surrounding gallery was built that is used for church and cultural events. In 2017, the well-known journalist Jan Hofer donated nocturnal outdoor lighting to the Lutherhaus.
