Martinskirche

Martinskirche, Modern parish church in Rahlstedt, Germany.

Description

Martinskirche is a modern parish church in Hamburg-Rahlstedt with white-washed walls, rounded arch portals, and a slender tower. The concrete structure accommodates about 320 visitors in the main area and includes a separate basement space with a confession room.

History

Construction of Martinskirche began in February 1960 and concluded with its consecration in September 1961. The Federal Republic of Germany provided partial funding for the project.

Culture

The church displays artworks by Karlheinz Hoffmann, including a lava stone altar showing the Last Supper scene. The bronze pulpit depicts congregation members and connects the sacred with the people who gather here.

Practical

The building offers good accessibility with its modern layout and clear pathways. The combination of main church space and basement area allows flexibility for different types of gatherings and services.

Did you know?

The church houses four bells mounted in a steel frame within the tower, each inscribed with Biblical verses and producing distinct tones. This range of sounds makes the bell tower a distinctive feature of the building.
