Eine-Welt-Kirche

Eine-Welt-Kirche, Lutheran church in Schneverdingen, Germany.

Eine-Welt-Kirche is a church building in Schneverdingen featuring a distinctive wooden construction that combines local pine and oak timber. Large windows flood the interior with daylight, creating a bright space where the untreated wood surfaces appear to glow.

The building was constructed in 1999 as part of a decentralized EXPO 2000 project when existing churches could no longer accommodate the growing congregation. It represented a response to community expansion and the need for a new gathering place.

The name refers to the One World concept behind the 1999 Expo 2000 project. The Markus-Kirchengemeinde Schneverdingen, part of the Evangelisch-lutherische Landeskirche Hannovers, holds services here. The altar's 7,000 numbered soil and sand samples, listed online with their collection sites, were donated by contributors worldwide.

The church stands at Ernst-Dax-Str. 8 in the south-east of Schneverdingen, east of the Heidebahn line. The walls are built in Brettstapel technique from untreated oak outside and pine inside, with insulation and a moisture barrier between them; the bell in the roof turret was cast in 1999 by Rincker. A schematic of the wall construction appears on one of the four window pictures beside the entrance.

The main attraction inside is the Eine-Erde-Altar, conceived by Marianne Greve of Hamburg, which holds exactly 7,000 soil and sand samples contributed by donors worldwide. Each sample sits in a numbered "book", and a list published online links every number to the place where it was collected.
