Lutheran Church of St Matthew at Piotrkowska Street. The building started in 1908, however the 1st World War stopped the construction at the stage of unfinished building (the walls were ready). The church was officially opened on 1st November 1928. The church was designed by Johanes Wende with an involvement of Franz Schwechten - an architect from Berlin. As far as I know, today it is the only one Lutheran church in Lodz (from the number of 3 or 4 at the beginning of 20th century). There is in Lodz also one small Evangelic-Reformed and one Methodist church. Due to the excellent acoustic conditions St Matthew church is used also as a concert hall by philharmonic orchestra of Lodz. The church also hosts the bishop of Warsaw diocese of Lutheran (Evangelical Church of Augsburg Confession in Poland) Church in Poland, however it has no cathedral status.
