Christianskirche, Baroque church in Ottensen, Germany
The Christianskirche features large arched windows, a mansard roof, and brick construction that defines its architectural composition in the Altona district.
The church, completed in 1738 under King Christian VI of Denmark's patronage, replaced an older structure from 1548 while incorporating its original tower.
The church grounds contain the burial site of poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, whose 1803 funeral drew thousands of citizens and received military honors.
Regular activities include Sunday services with concurrent children's programs, concerts, readings, and weekly podcasts addressing contemporary religious themes.
The church tower houses Germany's oldest carillon, consisting of 42 bells installed during the building's 200th anniversary celebration in 1938.
