St. Johanniskirche Eppendorf

St. Johanniskirche Eppendorf is a Lutheran church in Hamburg's northern district, distinguished by a wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling inside. Columns divide the interior space, and galleries on the north and west sides define the room's distinctive layout.

The church first appeared in written records in 1267 during negotiations involving Otto von Barmstede. Serious structural damage prompted major reconstructions in 1622 and 1662.

The church serves as a gathering place for weddings and concerts where Hamburg residents celebrate important moments together. Over the centuries, it has remained a focal point for the local community.

The church is accessible to visitors and located in Hamburg's northern district with regular opening times. Plan your visit outside of services and events for the best chance to explore the interior in detail.

The church organ is a recent installation featuring 1,622 pipes, a number intentionally selected to create a connection to the building's past. This figure references a significant date from the church's construction history.
