Anscharkirche, Protestant church in Neumünster, Germany.

Anscharkirche is a Protestant hall church with a barrel-vaulted interior, a west apse and a south entrance porch. Its visible brickwork is articulated by pilasters and pilaster strips, with terracotta mouldings and figurative sculpture by Berlin sculptor Ludwig Isenbeck. The dominant east tower carries a bronze bell dated 1643.

A fund for a second Protestant church in Neumünster was set up in 1895, and a 1909 competition drew 126 designs; the Berlin firm Jürgensen and Bachmann won first prize. The Neumünster architect Hans Roß, who had entered without winning, produced the execution plan with Magnus Schlichting, who later withdrew, so Roß alone led the build from April 1911 to September 1913. In November 1944 an air raid gutted the church; Fritz Hain Senior rebuilt it in plainer form, omitting the copper-clad spire and simplifying the porch roof, and in 1994 Fritz Hain Junior remodelled the altar area.

The church is named after Ansgar, the 9th-century missionary known as the Apostle of the North. Inside, the Revelation Altar carved by Otto Flath in 1951 from lime tree trunks measures 4 by 6 metres and depicts 250 figures and symbols from the Book of Revelation. A bronze sculpture of Ansgar by Manfred Sihle-Wissel was added in 1997.

The church stands on Christianstraße in the city centre, its main tower facing east and the entrance lobby on the south side. Visitors enter through that south porch; the raised interior vault dates from the post-war rebuild. The parish office of the Anschar-Kirchengemeinde can confirm when the building is open outside service times.

The east tower's bronze bell is dated 1643, cast more than 250 years before the church was consecrated in 1913. It survived the November 1944 fire that gutted the building and was rehung in the tower, which was rebuilt without its original copper-clad spire.
