With the attention on the teaching, especially with its members, it moves across the ocean and follows the German Lutheran immigrants who arrive in Brazil on 19th Century. Due to that, these ones originate schools right beside their temples, which had also the formative and supporting character of the ethno-religious of the social group. Nowadays, at the beginning of 21st Century, the studied Lutheran schools (located in Porto Alegre metropolitan region), related to Igreja Evangélica Luterana do Brasil, show a decline of the values that have guided the first German Lutherans who were the responsible ones to create these values. New literary arrangements appear, in a transculturation, and the confessionality which was beloved, is not the most important feature anymore. It is perceived there was the preference of new features and through these ones, they intend to be recognized and keep identitily connected to the schools that convey the Lutheran code name. This paper inclines to identitary subjects involved in this process from a socio-anthropological approach, in order to understanding the tensions that are settled on this game. / O luteranismo surge no século XVI na Alemanha tendo como um dos seus sinais diacríticos a ênfase numa educação plural e democrática. Com o cuidado pelo ensino, especialmente dos seus, atravessa o oceano e acompanha os imigrantes teuto-luteranos que aportam no Brasil no século XIX. Em razão disto, estes criam escolas ao lado de seus templos, as quais tinham também o caráter formador e mantenedor da identidade etno-religiosa deste grupo social. Agora, no início do século XXI, as escolas luteranas estudadas (situadas na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre), ligadas à Igreja Evangélica Luterana do Brasil, apresentam um declínio dos valores que orientavam os primeiros teuto-luteranos que criaram as mesmas. Ocorrem novos arranjos identitários, numa transculturação, onde a confessionalidade que lhes fora cara, deixa de ser o traço mais importante. Verificase que houve a escolha de novos traços com os quais pretendem ser reconhecidos e manterem-se identitariamente ligados às escolas que carregam o codinome “luterano”. Este trabalho debruça-se sobre as questões identitárias envolvidas neste processo à partir de uma abordagem sócio-antropológica visando compreender as tensões que se estabelecem neste jogo.
