Markuskirche, Lutheran church in Vahrenwald-List, Germany
The Markuskirche features an octagonal tower reaching 70 meters into the Hanover skyline, with natural stone construction and Gothic architectural elements.
Construction began in 1902 when 400 concrete piles were driven into shifting sand to create a stable foundation for the massive structure.
The western facade displays a monumental mosaic donated by Emperor Wilhelm II, depicting Christ as the ruler of the world.
The church layout includes a wide central nave and narrow side aisle, designed to provide clear views of the pulpit from every seat.
The building stands in direct line of sight with Hohenzollernstrasse, incorporating urban planning principles into its architectural design.
