Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Roman Catholic church in St. Gertrud, Lübeck, Germany

Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a wide brick church built in 1964/1965 by architect Paul Jansen, with a flat gabled roof and a tower clad in copper sheet since 1984 after frost damage to the brickwork. A wall-high choir window on one long side shows the symbols of the Holy Spirit in stained glass, mirrored opposite by the same symbol with a narrow band of light. Inside, a wood-panelled ceiling covers a space seating 290 people.

The building was constructed in the early 1960s as a church for a growing congregation in Lübeck. Its consecration in 1965 marked the completion of this modern religious building.

The name refers to the Holy Spirit, and this religious focus shapes the interior with its stained glass windows and organ. Wooden ceilings and the gallery create a warm space intended for worship and prayer.

Keep in mind that this is an active place of worship where regular religious services take place throughout the week. It is best to check service times in advance and dress respectfully if you plan to attend a service.

An unusual feature is the asymmetrical window design with a wide window band on one side and a narrow light strip below the roof edge on the opposite side. This arrangement creates a special lighting dynamic inside that is not immediately obvious.
