St. Mauritiuskirche, Ecclesiastical heritage monument in Hittfeld, Germany.

St. Mauritiuskirche is a church building in Hittfeld featuring fieldstone walls and a wooden bell tower positioned in the center of the village. The structure incorporates elements from different construction periods and displays typical characteristics of northern German rural church architecture.

The church occupies a site that was already in use in the 9th century with wooden post structures, while the current stone building began in the 11th century. Expansions during the 13th century shaped it into the form we see today.

The bronze baptismal font was cast by Lorenz Grove and dated 1438, though the figures supporting it are older. A single Wappenfenster in the north wall, installed in 1955, shows a coat of arms donated in the 16th century by Jagow von Fachenfelde. The pulpit, carved in 1657 by the sculptor Tamke of Buxtehude, carries angels holding instruments of Christ's Passion.

The building sits on elevated ground and is easy to reach from the village center. Visitors should be aware that regular worship services take place here and the church also serves local community gatherings.

The church kept its bells through both world wars: they were meant to be melted down for armaments but were recovered undamaged from the bell cemetery in Hamburg after 1945. As a memorial to the fallen, the congregation commissioned an iron bell.
