The first Protestants settled in the area of today's Siemianowice Śląskie in the nineteenth century. It was mostly a Germanspeaking population, which was attracted here by a dynamic industrial development of the area. In the years 1893-1895, they erected the church of Martin Luther in Siemianowice Śląskie. It was decorated in the neo-Gothic style. In 1945, it was taken over by the Catholic church, but after 55 years, it was returned to the Evangelicals.
