Bürgermeister-Smidt-Gedächtniskirche
Bürgermeister-Smidt-Gedächtniskirche, Gothic Revival church in Mitte district, Bremerhaven, Germany.
The three-nave church features pointed arches on its side facades and decorative glazed clinker bricks throughout its exterior structure.
Construction began in 1846 but failed due to inadequate foundations, leading to a second attempt in 1853 using 522 wooden piles for stability.
The church displays sculptures of Jesus Christ, Martin Luther, and Ulrich Zwingli above its west portal, installed for Luther's 400th birthday in 1883.
Sunday services commence at 11:00, while organ devotions take place every Wednesday at 18:00, with additional visiting hours Monday through Friday afternoons.
The church contains the largest organ in Bremerhaven, built by Beckerath, featuring 47 registers and replacing the original instrument destroyed in 1944.
