Ansgarkirche, Kiel, Lutheran Church in Bluecherplatz, Kiel, Germany.
Ansgarkirche is a brick church located on Bluecherplatz in Kiel, designed by architect Jürgen Kröger and built between 1901 and 1903. The rectangular building displays Gothic Revival features including a semi-circular stair tower and a rose window.
The church was designed by architect Jürgen Kröger and built between 1901 and 1903, officially opening on March 24, 1903. This construction period coincided with Kiel's rapid growth as a harbor city needing new religious spaces.
The building brings together three formerly separate congregations that merged in 1996 to form a single Ansgar community using this shared space. This joining reflects how religious groups adapt to changing circumstances and needs.
The church offers barrier-free access for all visitors who wish to explore the interior and attend services. Regular worship gatherings take place throughout the year on a schedule that can be checked in advance.
The church bells date from 1926 and were cast by the Schilling & Lattermann foundry in Apolda after the original bells were surrendered during World War I. These bells represent both wartime sacrifice and the rebuilding that followed.
