St. Elisabeth, Romanesque Revival church in Mitte, Germany.

St. Elisabeth is a Catholic church at Gellertstraße 42 in Hanover's Zoo district, built 1894/95 to plans by Christoph Hehl. The neo-Romanesque building follows the proportions of a small early-Romanesque basilica: a three-part facade with blind arcades and pilasters, a slightly recessed portal behind an entrance hall with three arched openings, and a flat-roofed tower rising only one storey above the roof ridge. The narrow side aisles continue into a shallow transept with apsidal ends holding statues of the Virgin Mary and St. Elisabeth of Thuringia.

St. Elisabeth was built in 1894/95 to plans by Christoph Hehl on land belonging to the Vinzenzkrankenhaus, run by the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Bishop Daniel Wilhelm Sommerwerck consecrated it on 20 November 1895, and a parish was established on 1 March 1908. Air raids on 9 October 1943 and 25 October 1944 damaged the organ, windows and roof, but repairs kept the church usable for services.

The church is named after Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia, whose legend is painted beneath the clerestory windows, while the eight Beatitudes appear in the transept as her life guidelines. In the main apse, a large Madonna and Child includes Saints Elisabeth, Francis of Assisi, Vincent de Paul and Bernward of Hildesheim. The parish was established on 1 March 1908 and has belonged to the St. Heinrich parish since 1 September 2010.

The church can be examined from the public spaces surrounding it, with the facade and architectural details fully visible from the outside. Plan time to walk around the exterior and view the towers from different angles for the best perspective of the overall design.

The church survived the air raids of 9 October 1943 and 25 October 1944 with only splinter and blast damage to the organ, windows and roof, and services never stopped. Its frescoes and furnishings by Oskar Wichtendahl, painted 1898–1905, remain complete after the 1992–94 restoration.
