Holzkirche, Lutheran church in Vegesack, Germany

The Holzkirche Schönebeck is a church building in Vegesack featuring a distinctive tent-shaped wooden structure with a separate bell tower. The roof and walls are constructed entirely of wood, and simple wooden seating fills the interior.

The building was constructed in 1964 as a temporary solution during Germany's post-war reconstruction period. Architect Helmut Duncker designed it as a quick and economical response to the need for new places of worship at that time.

Locals call it the Schönebecker Holzkirche, and its tent form follows a type design by Düsseldorf architect Helmut Duncker, built from prefabricated timber parts. Such mobile churches were known as "Schwedenkirchen" after their Swedish model. When the congregation of St. Magni was completed in 1967, residents demonstrated to keep the wooden church standing.

The church was deconsecrated on 4 June 2023 and in September 2026 was carefully dismantled and moved to the Museumsdorf Cloppenburg, where it is to be rebuilt. The bell and furnishings were kept. On the site in Schönebeck, the Lilge-Simon-Stift plans a new building with a multipurpose room, so the wooden church can no longer be seen there.

The Schönebeck wooden church was one of five mobile timber churches built in the Bremen area on Helmut Duncker's design, modelled on Swedish examples and known as "Schwedenkirchen". It was the only one of the assembly churches erected in Bremen's new housing estates in the 1960s still standing in 2024. In September 2026 the dismantled building was moved to the Museumsdorf Cloppenburg for re-erection, while its bell and furnishings were kept in Bremen.
