St.-Pauli-Kirche

St.-Pauli-Kirche is a neoclassical house of worship in Altona-Altstadt with a distinctive tower structure and regular window openings. The interior opens as a bright hall with side galleries and a central altar.

The church was built in 1819-1820 and replaced an earlier timber structure from 1682. A Gothic-inspired tower was added later in 1864 and changed the building's appearance.

The church shapes the everyday character of the Altona neighborhood and serves as a gathering place for worship and community activities. It holds special meaning for the local Lutheran congregation.

The church is located on Pinnasberg Street in the Altona district and is easily reached by public transportation. The building is visible from outside and open for visiting during regular worship services.

The building was officially part of the St. Pauli district until 1949, even though it is geographically located in Altona. This administrative boundary shift remains a notable part of local history.
