Redemptoris Mater church in Gdańsk

Redemptoris Mater church in Gdańsk, Catholic garrison church in Wrzeszcz Górny, Gdańsk, Poland

The Redemptoris Mater church, known in Polish as Kościół Garnizonowy Świętych Apostołów Piotra i Pawła, is a Neo-Gothic brick church in Wrzeszcz Górny, Gdańsk, designed by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel and built in 1899. It has two asymmetrical naves, a straight-ended chancel, a main nave with a gabled roof, and a clock tower with a baptistery chapel at its northwest corner. The central portal is decorated with a large rose window and a triangular gable with pointed blind arches and statues of Saints Peter and Paul.

The church was built in 1899 to a Neo-Gothic design by architect Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel, responding to Wrzeszcz's growing population and Lutheran soldiers arriving in Gdańsk. Until the start of World War II it served as garrison church for the Leibhusaren regiment, whose barracks stood on today's Słowackiego Street; Eduard Karl Lutzew was its first pastor. After the war it was taken over by Catholics and became a garrison church of the Polish Army.

The church was built as a Lutheran garrison temple for the Leibhusaren cavalry regiment, whose barracks stood on today's Słowackiego street; its first pastor was Eduard Karl Lutzew. After 1945 it passed to Catholics and became a garrison church of the Polish Army. It now belongs to the civilian-military parish of the Mother Redeemer.

The church stands in Wrzeszcz Górny, not the city centre, so reach it by tram or SKM train to Wrzeszcz and walk from the station. The clock tower and baptistery chapel occupy the north-west corner, while the main entrance portal with its rose window faces the street front. It remains an active Polish Army garrison church, so visits should avoid service times.

The stained-glass windows were funded by Empress Augusta Victoria, wife of Wilhelm II, and made by Ferdinand Müller of Quedlinburg; they show scenes from the life of Christ. The church also has two asymmetrical naves and a clock tower with a baptistery chapel at its base.
