Deutsch-evangelische Kirche Shanghai

Deutsch-evangelische Kirche Shanghai, German Lutheran church in Shanghai, China.

The Deutsch-evangelische Kirche Shanghai refers to two Lutheran churches built for Shanghai's German community, neither of which survives. The first, a Gothic-style church from 1890, stood by the German consulate near the Waibaidu Bridge and was demolished in 1932–1934. The second, built in 1932 at 310 Huashan Road, was a plain Art Deco design by László Hudec with vertical lines and fair-faced brick walls; it was torn down during the Cultural Revolution.

Two German Protestant churches stood in Shanghai. The first, Gothic in style, was built in 1890 near the German consulate by the Waibaidu Bridge and demolished in 1932–1934. The second, at 310 Huashan Road, was designed by Hungarian architect László Hudec and built in 1932; it was torn down during the Cultural Revolution.

Both churches were built for Shanghai's German Lutheran community, the first beside the German consulate north of the Waibaidu Bridge. Neither building survives: the first was demolished in 1932–1934, the second during the Cultural Revolution. Its Huashan Road site was later occupied by the Jing'an Hilton and the Guodu Hotel.

Neither church survives: the first, near the German consulate by the Waibaidu Bridge, was torn down in 1932–1934, and the second, at 310 Huashan Road, was demolished during the Cultural Revolution. The Huashan Road site is now occupied by the Jing'an Hilton and the Guodu Hotel, built in the 1990s, so there is no interior to visit. Look for the street corner where Huashan Road meets Yan'an West Road.

Both churches are gone: the first Gothic one was demolished in 1932–1934, the second, built in 1932, was torn down during the Cultural Revolution. In the 1990s the Jing'an Hilton and the Equatorial Hotel rose on the latter's plot at 310 Huashan Road, so nothing of either church survives above ground.
