Christuskirche, Modern church building in Wolfsburg, Germany

Christuskirche is a modern church building in Wolfsburg with a cross-shaped floor plan and tall windows throughout. A limestone facade and an octagonal tower with four clock faces define its exterior appearance.

Plans from 1939 for a Protestant church on the Litzmannstraße site failed because Adolf Hitler rejected church construction in new settlements. After the war, a former Volkswagen barracks south of the Schwarzer Weg served as a temporary church from Advent 1947. Gerhard Langmaack won the limited architectural competition, and construction of the Christuskirche began in autumn 1950 with a grant from the Volkswagenwerk. It was consecrated on 30 September 1951 by Landesbischof Hanns Lilje as Wolfsburg's first solid-built Protestant church after the city's founding.

The church is the main church of the Wolfsburg-Wittingen church district. Inside, twelve slender mushroom columns with octagonal bases flank the central aisle and stand for the twelve apostles. The altar windows, made in a Braunschweig workshop after designs by Johanna Schütz-Wolff, show the returning Christ.

The church is geosted on a small artificial rise in Schillerteich, directly on the Großen Schillerteich, at An der Christuskirche 4. A first-floor passage links the church to the free-standing octagonal tower south of the main portal. Services are held regularly on Sundays, and sacred music performances take place there as well.

The oldest of the tower's six bells was probably cast in the early 15th century. It came from Silesia by way of a bell cemetery in Hamburg, so a medieval bell hangs in a tower finished in 1951.
