Guided Story

You're standing in front of a significant part of Bochum's history. The Lukaskirche, built at the end of the 19th century, is recognized as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia. As a Protestant church, it belongs to the Evangelical Church District of Bochum. It served as the main church for the Altenbochum community for many years and, since 2007, has been the preaching site for the newly merged Altenbochum-Laer community. If you take a moment to look around, you might feel the sense of tranquility and continuity this place offers. Just 176 meters northwest, you can spot the Liebfrauenkirche, another testament to the rich ecclesiastical history of this area, highlighting the diverse faiths in Altenbochum.
