Auferstehungskirche Brakel, Protestant church in Brakel, Germany.

The Auferstehungskirche Brakel is the Protestant church of Brakel, built in 1911–1912 to plans by architect Karl Siebold. It is a central building on a cruciform ground plan with a pyramid-crowned tower set to one side, raised in local limestone with details in red sandstone in the Romanesque-Gothic transitional style. The interior is covered by cross-ribbed vaults.

Brakel adopted the Reformation in the mid-16th century, and by 1580 all its inhabitants were Protestant. After the Counter-Reformation, the secularised Capuchin church served both confessions from 1833, and an independent Protestant parish was founded in 1844. The Auferstehungskirche was built in 1911–1912 to designs by Karl Siebold, following the Wiesbadener Programm of 1891.

The name Auferstehungskirche refers to the resurrection of Christ, depicted in the rose window of the chancel, made in 1955 by Enrico Zappini of Paderborn. The 1912 stained glass by Gassen & Blaschke of Düsseldorf shows the reformers Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon in the tracery above the two transepts, the Luther rose on the organ gallery and the Lamb of God with victory banner at the side.

The church stands on a cross-shaped central plan with a pyramid-crowned tower set to one side, so the entrance is not under the tower. The interior is covered by cross-ribbed vaults. Visitors reach it on foot within Brakel's old town; the source gives no opening hours, so check locally before going.

The church was built in 1911–1912 to plans by Karl Siebold, following the Wiesbaden Programme of 1891, on a cruciform central plan with a pyramid-crowned tower set to one side. It uses local limestone with red sandstone details, and the tracery follows Paderborn Cathedral. The 1912 stained glass by Gassen & Blaschke of Düsseldorf shows Luther and Melanchthon in the cross-arm tracery.
