St. Jürgen-Kirche, Gothic Revival church in Jürgensby district, Flensburg, Germany.
St. Jürgen-Kirche is a church building in Gothic Revival style with a rectangular bell tower at the east end and two domes facing west. A polygonal altar hall connects these sections and forms the core of the interior space.
Construction began in 1903 under architect Oskar Hossfeld's direction on this site. It replaced a medieval hospital that had previously occupied the location.
The pulpit by Heinrich Ringerink from 1600 shows fine craftsmanship and remains one of the oldest artworks here. The neo-Renaissance altarpiece depicting the prodigal son tells a biblical story through images and shapes how people experience the interior.
The building is best explored during daylight hours when interior spaces are evenly lit and details are visible. Visitors should move carefully around historic artworks and furnishings when exploring.
The original stained glass windows were destroyed during a munitions explosion in June 1945 at the location. The new window designs that followed have shaped the play of light inside ever since.
