Kreuzkirche

The Kreuzkirche stands at Bgm.-Martin-Donandt-Platz with its architectural features representing the post-war reconstruction period of religious buildings in northern Germany.

Following the destruction of previous churches in 1944, this third Kreuzkirche building emerged in 1952 from a converted ethnographic museum, marking Bremerhaven's first post-war church.

The church holds multilingual services in German, Farsi, and Arabic-English, serving a congregation of 3,300 members from various international backgrounds.

The International Meeting Café operates twice weekly, providing German language learning opportunities and assistance to newcomers from Ukraine and other countries.

Stained glass windows created by Bremen artist Heinz Lilienthal display biblical scenes throughout the church building, which received monument protection status in 2023.
