Osterkirche, Cultural heritage church in Bramfeld, Germany

The Osterkirche is a church building in Hamburg-Bramfeld with an octagonal floor plan and red brick facade articulated by ornamental bands. The bell tower rises about 32 meters high and terminates in a pyramidal roof with a finial.

Bramfeld became an independent parish with Steilshoop and Wellingsbüttel in 1907, but only the consecration of the church on 29 March 1914 completed the buildings needed for a parish. Wilhelm Voigt designed it as a neo-baroque central building with an octagonal plan and a 32-metre tower. It was initially called Bramfelder Kirche; the name Osterkirche was adopted at the consecration of the largest bell on Easter 1938.

The church shapes Bramfeld's streetscape with its distinctive octagonal form and brick facade, which define the neighborhood to this day. Visitors can experience the 1964 interior design that connects preaching, sacrament, and music as related elements.

The church sits in a quiet residential area and is easily accessible from nearby roads. The main entrance is located at Bramfelder Chaussee, where the church office is also located.

The tower holds four bells. The oldest, cast by Schilling in Apolda in 1925, is the only one that survived both world wars; the two large bells were removed and melted down for armament in 1917 and during the Second World War. Two Rincker bells followed in 1952, and a 1189 kg bell in 1959 completed the set.
