St. Gertrud

St. Gertrud is a brick church in Uhlenhorst with a 93-meter tower and more than 460 different types of molded and glazed stones set throughout its facade. The building displays Gothic Revival features and stands out in the neighborhood's skyline because of its height.

The original church on this site was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1842, and after this disaster a new building was constructed. The replacement was built from 1882 to 1886 following designs by architect Johannes Otzen.

The congregation gathers here for regular worship and community programs like concerts and special services. People come together to experience music and reflection in this space.

The church is open during specific times: Tuesdays 4 to 6 PM, Fridays 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and Sundays 2 to 5 PM. Plan your visit around these hours, as access outside these times is not available.

Oak trees grow on the church grounds and were planted to mark a significant religious anniversary. These trees serve as a living reminder of an important commemorative date in Protestant tradition.
