St. Markus

St. Markus is a church building in the Gothic Revival style located in Hamburg-Nord, featuring pointed arches, tall windows, and thick stone walls. The interior benefits from generous glazing that fills the space with natural light and highlights the architectural details.

The church was completed in 1899 following a design collaboration between architects Otto Bartning and Hugo Groothoff. It emerged during a period of expansion in Hamburg-Nord when many new buildings were constructed in the district.

St. Markus functions as an evangelical Lutheran church, conducting weekly services and maintaining strong connections with the local Hamburg community through various programs.

The building is generally accessible for viewing from the outside and can be visited at any time. Visitors should know that services typically happen on Sundays and interior access may be limited at other times.

The church square surrounding the building houses a public bicycle repair station and a community lending library. These facilities transform the space into a gathering point serving both spiritual and local needs.
