Church of the Holy Spirit, Gothic Revival church in the Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt, Rostock, Germany

The Church of the Holy Spirit is a Gothic Revival church built in 1905–1908 to a design by Johannes Vollmer. Its red brick walls rest on foundations of Swedish granite, with glazed bricks as decorative elements. The cross-shaped plan seats 1,000, and the tower rises 70 metres, topped by a green copper spire with four flanking pinnacles.

Built 1905–1908 to a design by Johannes Vollmer, it was the first new church built at the city's expense since the Middle Ages. Long negotiations over parish boundaries, settled in 1905, allowed the new congregation to be founded; services were held in the Jakobikirche until the consecration on 26 April 1908. The name comes from the Heiligengeistfeld, land once belonging to the Heilig-Geist-Hospital.

The name comes from the Heiligengeistfeld, land once owned by the Holy Spirit Hospital. The congregation, founded in 1905, has over 2,250 members, many of them young people and students, and the church also hosts concerts of various musical styles. A radio service was broadcast from here on 28 November 2021.

The church stands at the corner of Margaretenstraße and Borwinstraße in the Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt, west of the old town. The main entrance is reached through the pointed-arch portal below the tower; a round turret with a conical roof sits to its left. Services and concerts share the space, so check the parish notice board before setting out.

The organ, built in 1908 by E. F. Walcker & Cie. of Ludwigsburg, is the largest Walcker organ in Mecklenburg, with 41 stops on three manuals and pedal and pneumatic action; Christian Scheffler restored it between 1999 and 2001. The tower bells are steel, cast by the Bochumer Verein.
