Church Ochsenwerder

Church Ochsenwerder is a church building in Hamburg-Bergedorf featuring Baroque architecture with symmetrical forms and rich decorative details. The structure shows typical characteristics of northern German religious buildings from this period.

The building was constructed in 1674 and received an organ by Arp Schnitger in 1707, a renowned organ builder of that time. This combination makes it an important example of church architecture in Hamburg's Bergedorf district.

The church serves as a central meeting place for the communities of Ochsenwerder, Tatenberg, Spadenland, and Moorwerder, where regular services and community gatherings take place. This gathering function continues to shape local life today.

The church is located in Ochsenwerder and can be reached on foot or by public transport, with the specific location being easy to find. Visitors should check in advance whether services or events are taking place before planning a visit.

The church grounds are surrounded by protected historic trees that frame both the main building and the pastor's house. These green areas are part of the protected monument complex and significantly shape the calm appearance of the site.
