Christuskirche Othmarschen

Christuskirche Othmarschen is a Gothic Revival church at Roosens Weg built with brick, tuff stone, lava, and slate materials. The building sits north of the Elbe Tunnel and features English church design elements throughout its structure.

Conrad Hinrich Donner commissioned this church in 1899 after his wife recovered from illness, and architect Albert Petersen designed it. The structure was built during a period of rapid expansion in the Altona region.

The interior windows display cool tones and create a carefully composed light environment. The altar window shows Christ as the world's judge, shaping how visitors experience the spiritual space.

Plan your visit during regular opening hours from Tuesday to Friday, as the building hosts community services and scheduled events throughout the year. Check ahead if you want to avoid times when special activities are taking place.

The Beckerath organ built in 1936 by the Sauer company offers 4000 different sound combinations. After its 2004 restoration, the instrument has maintained its original acoustic character.
