History

The first Lutheran service in Temesvár was held in 1795. In 1824, the United Protestant Congregation was founded, and within 15 years it built and consecrated the only Lutheran church in Temesvár in 1839. In 1890 the Reformed (Calvinist) and Lutheran denominations became separate. The tower was built in 1901.
