Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyze the socio- religious role of the Lutherans parishes in the history of urban agglomeration in Lodz. To illustrate this activity it's also important to present the relicts of the material heritage of this denomination, which can be observed in the urban space of these cities. Considerations in this article, are related to deliberately selected two cities: Pabianice and Zgierz, where the Lutheran church (in the form of the parish), for many years has shaped the socio- religious face of these urban centers. The considerations contained in this paper were based on the source material contained in the literature, as well as other papers open for general use like parish brochures and online resources.
