Hanover Lutheran Church is a Lutheran congregation in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, that is a member of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. The congregation's original organization came about in 1846 as a result of the heavy German immigration to Missouri in the 19th century. The church's name, "Hanover", was chosen to reflect the place of origin of the majority of its members, since many of the Germans who had settled northwest of the town of Cape Girardeau had immigrated from Hanover, Germany.
Hanover's original log-cabin church building served the congregation from 1846 until 1887, when the second church building was constructed on land donated by church member Henry Krueger. This second church building was in active use from the time of its construction in 1887 until the current building was constructed in 1969. The building is still standing today in its original location, alongside the schoolhouse building which was constructed in 1923. On September 14, 1987, both buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places as Historic Hanover Lutheran Church and School.[2]: 2
The 579-member congregation, currently pastored by Rev. Rod Benkendorf, is often considered to be the mother Church of several Lutheran congregations in Cape Girardeau County, which include Eisleben Lutheran Church in Scott City; Trinity Lutheran Church in Cape Girardeau; Trinity Lutheran Church in Egypt Mills; and St. Paul Lutheran Church in Jackson. The church is currently located on the northern limits of the city on gently sloping ground on Perryville Road.
