Edith-Stein-Kirche, Catholic filial church in Neuallermöhe, Germany.
Edith-Stein-Kirche is a modern Catholic church with a circular floor plan and reddish-yellow brick exterior in Neuallermöhe. The building features large cross-shaped windows, a gently sloping roof that rises toward the south, and a prominent rooftop cross.
The building was constructed between 1991 and 1992 as part of residential development in Bergedorf. It was consecrated on January 31, 1993 by Auxiliary Bishop Hans-Jochen Jaschke.
The church honors Saint Edith Stein, a Jewish philosopher and Carmelite nun who died in the Holocaust, making the space a place where faith and remembrance intertwine. Visitors encounter this meaning through the quiet reverence of worship and the deliberate choice to dedicate this modern building to her legacy.
The Nettelnburg S-Bahn station provides the most direct access to the church. Regular Sunday services and weekday services are held throughout the year.
The organ installed in 1998 has a curved case that echoes the church's circular design, creating a visual harmony between the instrument and its setting. With more than 1000 pipes arranged across two manuals, it delivers rich sound within this unusually shaped space.
