Maria-Magdalenen-Church, Neo-Gothic church in Elmschenhagen, Germany.
Description
Maria-Magdalenen-Church is a neo-Gothic place of worship in Kiel's Elmschenhagen neighborhood with a striking tower and decorative stained glass windows created in recent decades. The interior displays characteristic neo-Gothic architectural features and contains two bells cast in the mid-1900s.
History
The building was constructed in the 1860s and replaced a medieval church that had occupied the site for centuries. The structure sustained significant damage during the Second World War, though certain original interior elements like the pulpit survived the destruction.
Culture
The congregation gathers here for regular worship and community celebrations that shape local life. The spaces reflect how the neighborhood has evolved and used this building as a gathering place for both spiritual and social occasions.
Practical
The church is located in the Elmschenhagen district and welcomes visitors when not in use for services or events. Those interested in exploring the neo-Gothic design and furnishings should check availability beforehand, as regular worship takes priority.
Did you know?
The original pulpit survived the war's destruction when most other interior elements had to be restored or replaced afterward. This piece of furniture stands as a quiet reminder of what the community managed to preserve through the chaos.
