Vicelinkirche, Modern church in Sasel district, Hamburg, Germany
Description
The Vicelinkirche is a modern church building in Sasel with a distinctive tent-shaped structure made of Dutch bricks. The form resembles a ship's hull, and large windows flood the interior with natural light.
History
Built in 1962 by architects Horst Sandtmann and Friedhelm Grundmann, this was the first church building specifically constructed for the Sasel neighborhood. The three bells are reproductions of the original bells from Arnsdorf's prayer house.
Culture
The interior features lead glass windows and a hand-woven tapestry by artist Lothar Quinte with concentric color circles. These artistic elements shape the space and create a modern, reflective setting for worship and contemplation.
Practical
The church is located at Saseler Markt 8 and is easy to spot from its distinctive shape. Regular Lutheran services take place here, and visitors can explore the building's unusual architecture and artistic interior.
Did you know?
The altar area is deliberately shaped like a ship's hull, referencing Noah's Ark as a symbol of salvation. This design detail reflects the building's intentional spiritual symbolism that connects architecture to religious meaning.
