It is assumed that the church used by German colonists until the early 1940s, but there is no documentary evidence of that. There is also no evidence that this church was a Lutheran church, given the fact that during these years there was no German Lutheran Community in Kirovabad, where an insignificant number of Germans (50-100 people) lived. On 18 September 1986, by order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR, the building was handed over to the use of the Ganja State Puppet Theatre which operates to this day. 1
