Herrenhäuser Church, Gothic Revival church in Herrenhausen-Stöcken, Germany.
Description
Herrenhäuser Church is a Gothic Revival church building in Hannover that reaches about 72 meters in height. The distinctive four-sided spire is built entirely from sandstone and defines its outer appearance.
History
The building was constructed between 1904 and 1906 under architect Eberhard Hillebrand's direction, with funding from banker Moritz Simon and local residents. During World War II, an aerial attack damaged the windows, which were later replaced with new stained glass.
Culture
The interior follows a Greek cross layout with three galleries that shape the space. The windows depicting Jesus and his disciples were created by O. Brenneisen and define how the inside looks today.
Practical
The interior accommodates about 650 visitors following a late 20th-century renovation, a reduction from its original seating. Visitors should check local opening hours beforehand and plan accordingly to ensure access.
Did you know?
The new stained glass installed after wartime damage preserves the artistic continuity of the interior despite destruction. This shows how the building maintained its identity over time.
