The St. Lukas Church is the main church in the Erfurt district of Bindersleben . It belongs to the Evangelical Church District Erfurt . The building is a listed building .

history

The history of the church goes back to the late Middle Ages . In 1491 (building inscription) the west tower was built. It has cross- frame windows on the top floor, above an open gallery framed by parapets decorated with tracery , and a Gothic pointed helmet .

The nave with its three-sided polygonal east end was built between 1737 and 1743. It has decorated portal systems with crowns on the north, south and west sides and framed segmental arched windows with plastic decoration in the apex .

In 1960 the use of the church was given up due to structural damage. After the "turning point" in 1990, restoration work began and was largely completed in 2003. Then the renovation of the historic Volckland organ was planned. For this purpose, a support association was founded in 2009.

Since 2016 the church has been the venue for the summer concerts project in Erfurt village churches of the Erfurt Chamber Music Association .

Furnishing

The uniform interior furnishings essentially come from the middle of the 18th century, with a few older pieces from the previous building. The following are to be mentioned:

• Romanesque baptismal font with dazzle signature
• Relief of the namesake and evangelist Luke from the late 15th century on the west side
• Three- sided, two-story gallery with coffered armor, the posts of which support a staggered wooden barrel with paintings above the central room .
• Pulpit altar with an architectural structure consisting of pairs of columns and cranked entablature. Carved figures of Moses and John the Baptist between the columns , above an excerpt depicting the Holy Trinity .
• 18th century stalls with coffered panels and panels
• Wooden baptismal font from the 18th century.
• Bust tombstone of pastor Heinrich Gottfried Sahl († 1753)
