Norwegian Seaman's Church

Norwegian Seaman's Church, Seaman's church in Neustadt, Hamburg, Germany

The Norwegian Seaman's Church is a rectangular brick building with concrete-framed glass windows and a copper roof. A detached, pointed bell tower clad in copper rises above the street entrance, with nine sound openings on each side of its lower section. The entrance wing and community house adjoin the church.

The Sjømannskirken organization was founded in Bergen on 31 August 1864; Hamburg had rented rooms for pastoral care from 1907. The first church, consecrated at Advent 1936, was destroyed by bombs on 30 March 1945, killing caretaker Oskar M. Olsen; only its bell survived. The present church, designed by Harald Bjerke Hille, was consecrated in April 1959.

The church stands on Ditmar-Koel-Straße beside the Danish and Finnish seamen's churches, with the Swedish one at the street's western end. The bell in the free-standing copper-clad tower comes from the 1936 building and bears the inscription "Der Meister ist hier und ruft Dich".

The church stands at the start of Ditmar-Koel-Straße in the Neustadt, with the Danish and Finnish seamen's churches to the west and the Swedish one at the street's western end. The copper-clad bell tower rises above the street-side entrance, and the lower section has nine sound openings on each side. The building is a protected monument, listed under number 29299.

The bell in the free-standing copper-clad tower is the only survivor of the 1936 church, destroyed by bombs on 30 March 1945; caretaker Oskar M. Olsen died in the cellar. A Norwegian family living in Hamburg donated it, and it bears the inscription "Der Meister ist hier und ruft Dich".
