The Protestant Luther Church in Plauen/Vogtland was built between 1693 and 1722 and is one of the oldest baroque central churches in the Free State of Saxony. It received its current name in the Luther year of 1883. Inside the church there is a winged altar from the 15th century and a Gothic choir.
The church became particularly famous during the political change in 1989. Hundreds of candles were placed on a side portal, directly opposite the town hall, calling for peaceful protest. The wax stains are still visible today on the steps of the side entrance, which has since been called the Candle Portal. A memorial plaque was placed there on the tenth anniversary of the demonstrations.
