Michaelkirche, Lutheran church building in Faßberg, Germany

Michaelkirche is a Protestant church building in Faßberg with a simple rectangular brick structure and a steep gabled roof. Instead of a traditional tower, it features a small turret on the roof, a design choice made because of its location near the airfield.

The Luftwaffe airbase and its housing estate arose on open heath from 1933/34, and the state commissioned and financed this garrison church, handed over by architect Wilhelm Kröger on 17 December 1938 and inaugurated the next day, the fourth Sunday of Advent, with a Protestant service followed by a Catholic Mass. Faßberg became its own parish in 1947, when the building took the name Michael-Kirche; the Catholic community used it until 1967.

The white relief of the Archangel Michael fighting Satan as a dragon on the south wall gave the church its name in 1947, when Faßberg became its own parish. A 1938 newspaper caption misread the figure as Saint George, "symbol of German soldierhood". Inside, the baptismal font bears the words "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph 4:5), a verse chosen for the shared Protestant-Catholic use.

The main entrance is on the west side, with a second entrance to the south and a third on the east leading to the sacristy. A chapel is attached to the south wall. The church is oriented east with the roof ridge running west to east, and the small roof turret sits at the western end of the ridge.

The church was built as a Simultankirche: at the consecration on 18 December 1938 an Evangelical service was followed directly by a Roman Catholic Mass. Five holy water basins at the entrances and a confessional still recall the Catholic congregation, which used the building until its own Heilig-Geist-Kirche was consecrated on 11 November 1967.
