Dreifaltigkeitskirche

The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is a modern church building in Hamburg-Mitte with an elliptical concrete nave and exposed pillars. The tower rises above Horner Weg and shapes the appearance of this neighborhood.

The building was constructed between 1956 and 1957 to replace a church built in 1693 that was completely destroyed during the Operation Gomorrah air raids in July 1943. The reconstruction of the church symbolized Hamburg's recovery after the war.

The interior displays a bronze cross and wooden carvings depicting the Trinity near the altar, reflecting post-war German church design principles. These artworks shape the character of the space and show how artists addressed religious themes during the reconstruction period.

The church is located near Horner Weg U-Bahn station and is easily accessible by public transportation. Regular opening times and services allow visitors to enter and explore the interior.

The building's design incorporates the symbols Alpha and Omega in its shape, representing the steps of believers and their displacement after World War II. This architectural feature holds deep theological and historical meaning.
