history

On March 5, 1905, an association was founded to build a parish church for the Johannesvorstadt, whose inhabitants had previously been assigned to the parish of the Augustinian Church in the old town. In 1913 the parish hall was built on Gerberstrasse. The construction of the actual church was prevented by the First World War , before the groundbreaking for the construction of the church according to plans by the Berlin architect Peter Jürgensen was carried out on June 7, 1926 . On December 10, 1927, the church was consecrated by the Luther Church, which had been founded in 1921.

Rühlmann organ

The organ of the Luther Church was built in 1928 by the organ builder Wilhelm Rühlmann jun. (Zörbig) built. The pocket shop instrument has 46  stops on three manuals and a pedal . In the years 2004–2007 the instrument was extensively restored, with changes made in the meantime that had alienated the character of the Rühlmann organ.
