Auferstehungskirche, Protestant church in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.
Auferstehungskirche is a Protestant church in Bad Oeynhausen featuring modern architecture with clean lines, large windows, and a prominent bell tower. The building houses an organ with 42 registers built by Paul Ott in 1956.
The original church was built in 1879 but was destroyed by fire in 1947. Reconstruction took place from 1953 to 1956, resulting in the contemporary building that stands today.
The interior contains stained glass windows by Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen and a crucifix by Gerhard Marcks that shape the entire space. These artworks reflect a blend of contemporary design and skilled craftsmanship that visitors notice upon entering.
The church is located in Bad Oeynhausen and is easy to find thanks to its prominent bell tower. Visitors can attend regular Protestant services or view the architecture and artworks inside at other times.
After World War II, the church stood within a British military zone when Bad Oeynhausen served as British Army headquarters. This temporary role as part of a strategic location is no longer visible but shaped the building's recent past.
