Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church was a church in Chicago on 19th and Peoria streets in the Pilsen neighborhood.[1] The church was founded in 1850 and the current remains of the church are from 1880.[2] From roughly 1910 to 1941, Adolf Kuring served as the church's minister.[3]

After a 1979 fire and windstorm knocked down the walls and left the entrance, steeple and footprint of the building, the property was quickly purchased by John Podmajersky.[2]
