St. Prokop-Kirche, Eastern Orthodox church in Hamburg-Stellingen, Germany.
St. Prokop-Kirche is a brick church in Hamburg-Stellingen that houses traditional Orthodox architectural features and a detailed ikonostasis inside. Its distinctive exterior with classic Orthodox characteristics makes it recognizable in the Eimsbüttel district.
The parish traces back to a chapel dedicated to St Nicholas set up in a Harvestehude house on 2 January 1902. After the Second World War a barracks on Harvestehuder Weg served as the first St Prokop church, and in 1953 Archbishop Filofej made it his cathedral. When the Mittelweg site was needed for a school, the community received land in Stellingen, where the present church was built from 1961 to 1965 by architects Alexander S. Nürnberg and A. N. Serow and consecrated in 1965.
The church serves the Russian Orthodox community in Hamburg as a spiritual center for their faith. It shapes the neighborhood with its distinct Orthodox character and welcomes visitors to observe the religious practices and ceremonies of this tradition.
The church is located in the Eimsbüttel area at Hagenbeckstr. 10 and is open to visitors who wish to observe Orthodox services. It helps to check service times beforehand so you can experience the community during active worship.
The church's blue onion domes served as the backdrop for the 1968 music video and record cover of the hit single "Moscow" by the Hamburg band Wonderland, filmed on the pavement of Hagenbeckstraße along the church's south-west side.
