Auferstehungskirche, Protestant church in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.

Auferstehungskirche is a Protestant church in Bad Oeynhausen, rebuilt from 1953 to 1956 to a design by Diez Brandi after a 1947 fire. It is built of rough brown stone, with a tall square tower at the corner where two wings meet; the tower has white-framed openings, a clock with gold hands and a gold figure at its peak. The left wing is lower with small windows, the right gabled wing has tall arched windows. Inside, Paul Ott built the 1956 organ with 42 registers on three manuals and pedal.

A parish was set up in Bad Oeynhausen in 1867, after the town's founding; the area had previously belonged to the Laurentiuskirche in Rehme. The first Auferstehungskirche, built in Neo-Gothic style from 1872, was consecrated in 1879 and enlarged in 1907. A fire destroyed it in February 1947, while the British military government had requisitioned the town centre. The congregation decided in 1952 to rebuild; Diez Brandi's redesign was built from 1953 and inaugurated in 1956.

The 1950s refit gave the church its fittings: Gerhard Marcks made the crucifix, baptismal font and altar candlesticks, Arnold Rickert the pulpit, and Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen designed the choir window behind the altar. The organ, built by Paul Ott in 1956, has 42 registers on three manuals and pedal.

The church stands in the city centre, its square stone tower with a clock face marking the corner where the two wings meet. The main entrance is on the gabled side with the tall arched windows. The interior is open around Protestant services; the 1956 Paul Ott organ with 42 registers on three manuals can be seen inside.

The church burned in February 1947, during the period when Bad Oeynhausen was the seat of the British Military Government and headquarters of the British Army of the Rhine, and much of the centre was requisitioned and declared a restricted zone. The congregation then used an emergency church until the rebuilt church opened in 1956; that emergency church was reused in 1969 as the Kreuzkirche in Vlotho-Wehrendorf.
