Melanchthonkirche

Melanchthonkirche is a church building with modern architecture situated along the Landwehr Canal, serving worship, community gatherings, and youth programs. The structure displays clean lines and functional spaces designed to support both spiritual life and everyday social activities.

The original structure opened in 1907 following Northern European brick design, but was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstruction reflected the determination to restore it as a center of community life.

The congregation serves as a meeting place for local people seeking community and connection. It shapes the social life of the neighborhood through its welcoming approach.

Access to the building is designed for different mobility needs with lifts and ramps available. Visitors should check ahead about space availability for specific activities, as some rooms may be booked for events or community use.

The church preserves objects from its early years, including an original Bible and a baptismal bowl from 1905. These items tell the story of the place and its resilience through destruction and rebuilding.
