Kreuzkirche Kirchdorf, Lutheran church in Wilhelmsburg, Germany.

Kreuzkirche Kirchdorf is a red brick church in Wilhelmsburg with a cross-shaped floor plan, a steep red tiled roof and a square tower topped by a copper-green spire and a clock. Its front gable holds three tall pointed-arch windows with dark tracery and a small cross at the peak, with a low porch and dark door below. Inside are pews painted with the prophets, a princely chair, the Furtwängler organ of 1870 and a baptismal font from 1655.

The church was founded in 1388 as a daughter parish of Ochsenwerder and consecrated in 1389 by the Bishop of Verden, making it the oldest church on the Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg. After the Reformation it passed to the Protestant church and remained the island's only church until 1895. The decayed building was rebuilt between 1614 and 1617, and in 1893/94 it was remodelled to a cross-shaped plan. Bomb damage from the Second World War was repaired in 1955, when the altar from the destroyed Harburg Dreifaltigkeitskirche was installed.

The parish of Kirchdorf was formed in 2002 by merging the Kreuzkirche and St. Raphael congregations. Inside, look for the pews painted with images of the prophets and the Fürstenstuhl, a princely stall, both surviving from the 17th-century rebuilding. The church remains the Lutheran parish church of Kirchdorf.

The church stands in Wilhelmsburg, in the Hamburg-Mitte borough, and is still used by the Kirchdorf parish, formed in 2002 from the merger of the Kreuzkirche and St. Raphael congregations. The red brick building with its green copper spire is entered through a low porch with a dark door beneath the front gable; signs at the base read "Kreuzkirche" and "Schillerhof".

During the devastating flood of February 1962, the church remained dry and became a refuge for many residents whose homes were threatened by water. This moment established the building as more than just a place of worship in the community's collective memory.
