River Shipping Church Church on a ship

Ausschläger Elbdeich Hamburg, Hamburg 20539 +49 (0)40 3037 4733 http://www.flusschifferkirche.de/

A curiosity among Hamburg's many churches is the Flussschifferkirche on board an old green-white ship, which used to serve on the River Weser. The ship became a church in 1952. There is an altar, an organ, a font and wooden pews in its cargo hold and it is here that services are held. In 1970, the interior was altered. There is a little belfry also. The Flussschifferkirche ('river shipping church') provides an unforgettable ambience for a wedding and is a unique experience, even in Hamburg. Of course, the ship can also stop at certain berths. Please contact the Protestant River Shipping Community for further details. Review © 2009, Wcities
