Hl.-Apostel-und-Evangelist-Lukas-Kirche
The Hl.-Apostel-und-Evangelist-Lukas-Kirche stands in Dortmund as a Serbian Orthodox church within the Ruhr region. Its worship, cultural events and community gatherings serve the local Serbian community. The surrounding city reflects the religious diversity shaped by many communities settling across the Ruhr.
Serbian workers arrived in the area in significant numbers after the 1960s, creating a need for familiar places of worship. The church gives that need a permanent spiritual and cultural setting. Serbian Orthodox communities in the Ruhr often adapted former church buildings, preserving architectural heritage while reshaping interiors for Orthodox liturgy. Here, religious life also supports Serbian traditions and customs through shared cultural activities. Dortmund therefore connects Orthodox worship with the everyday work of maintaining community identity in a changing region.
