Church Alt-Rahlstedt

The Church Alt-Rahlstedt features a flat-roofed main structure built from fieldstones, while its polygonal choir section includes vaulted architecture and a timber-framed tower.

First documented in 1248, the church contains sections dating to the late 12th century, with archaeological evidence suggesting an earlier structure beneath the current choir.

The interior displays a 1695 altarpiece, a 14th-century triumphal cross, and a baroque pulpit installed in 1634, originally from the first Wandsbek church.

The church maintains three bells, including the oldest from 1494, and holds regular worship services plus community events in the Evangelical Lutheran tradition.

The church's Führer organ from 1969 stands in an asymmetrical position, while the stained glass windows created by Ina Hoßfeld in 1937 partially survived wartime damage.
