ProposalDescription: 

Evangelical Lutheran Church, is applying for a permit to install a new basin in the vestry and a new security gate to be installed with in the front of the Church.

Expanded_Motivation: 

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (taken from CCT Heritage pamphlet no 17) The building first served as a warehouse donated to the Lutheran Church by the wealthy burgher, Martin Melck, in 1774. After five years of petitioning it became the first Lutheran Church in 1780. In fact it was the first church of any denomination other than Dutch Reformed allowed to practise at the Cape. When it opened its doors, slaves found themselves as welcome as any free person and many baptisms and marriages took place. Five years later Anton Anreith was commissioned to convert the basic structure into a proper church and produced exquisite carvings and pulpit that can be viewed inside. To the right of the Lutheran Church is Martin Melck House, built as the parsonage for the church in 1781 with Louis Thibault as architect. It has the only surviving “dakkamer” in Cape Town. It now houses the South African Gold Museum. Following Martin Melck House on the right is the 18th century Company store/barracks and finally , completing this complex to the left of the church, is the 1787 Sexton’s House, currently occupied by the Dutch Embassy and Consulate.
