Heiligengeistkirche

The Holy Spirit Church is a Lutheran place of worship in Kiel with a compact structure of three naves and a square choir section. The building sits between Falckstrasse and Klosterkirchhof at Alter Markt, occupying a space in a historically grown neighborhood.

The site originated as a Franciscan monastery founded by Count Adolf IV of Schauenburg in the 13th century. After the monastery was dissolved, the present church was built on the location as a Protestant place of worship.

The church is named after the Holy Spirit and serves as a center for choral music in the city. Visitors can experience performances by vocal ensembles that shape the musical life of the congregation.

The church is located at Holtenauer Strasse 91 and is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. The site is centrally positioned and offers regular services, meditation sessions, and cultural events that are open to visitors.

A carillon from 1928 now hangs in the monastery tower bell and survived the destruction of World War II. This bell work is among the few preserved original elements from that era and tells a story of continuity.
