In the Middle Ages, Schwedesdorf / Lauenau belonged to the parish of Apelern . The first parish church of its own was only built on the official moat after the Reformation in 1578.
After the middle of the 19th century, it became dilapidated and too small for the grown community, so a new building was built. The foundation stone was laid in July 1877, the inauguration in May 1878. The Luther Church in Georgsmarienhütte was built at the same time according to the same design by Conrad Wilhelm Hase . The organ, the prospect of which was also designed by Hase, was built by the Furtwängler company in 1879. The church was given the name of the Evangelist Lukas in 1962.
