Hindu temple in Rothenburgsort |
Sonnenland 18 Hamburg, Hamburg 22115 Germany +49(0)40 712 0105 |
The Afghan-Hindu society's place of worship is located in one of Hamburg's less attractive neighbourhoods. If you look at it from the outside, its building seems rather plain and certainly doesn't hint at the beautiful Hindu temple within its walls. You would certainly not expect to find the golden Buddha figures in the interior, nor the stone sculptures of Hindu gods in such a building. Large plants, candlelight and the scent of joss sticks contribute to a quiet, calm atmosphere here. On weekends believers from the whole city gather for prayers at noon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ahrensburg castle´s little church |
Schulstraße 7b Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein 22926 Germany +49 (0)41 0247 1534 |
Ahrenburg castle´s church is located opposite the castle building. The original little brick church was built around 1595. In the 18th Century a baroque style roof and a steeple were added, as was Detlev Rantzau´s burial chamber. The wooden carvings by Carl Döbel are most remarkable. He designed the altar, the sitting facilities for the masters and mistresses and the ornaments around the organ. The castle church provides a very romantic ambience for a wedding, but you can also get married inside Ahrensburg castle, if you donate (EUR 125) to the castle society. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Arabian community´s mosque |
Kirchenallee 25 Hamburg, Hamburg 20099 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information fur Touristen) |
In the multicultural neighbourhood of St. Georg a number of religious beliefs other than the Protestant or Catholic church have their places of worship. They co-exist in tolerance and mutual acceptance here in Hamburg, and their mosques and temples contribute to the lively cityscape. The Al-Muhajirin mosque at Kirchenallee is one of those places of worship. It is the Arabian community´s mosque. The building near the main railway station is open from midday until 10pm daily. The Arabian cultural society is also located near the station at 55 Adenauerallee. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hamburg´s oldest church |
Bergstedter Kirchenstraße 7 Hamburg, Hamburg 22395 Germany +49 (0)40 604 9156 |
Bergstedt, one of Hamburg´s green suburbs in the northeast, has a particularly romantic church, which is very popular among bridal couples. Only half of the more than one thousand annual requests for weddings can be staged, and then only if the couples pay a fee and bring their own pastor. The popularity of the church is easily explained. There is no electricity at Hamburg´s oldest church, which creates a very special, pleasant atmosphere. The Rodenbeker Quellental, a beautiful valley of the Alster brook, is also close by. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Turkish community´s central mosque |
Böckmannstraße 40 Hamburg, Hamburg 20099 Germany +49 (0)40 24 1607 |
The central mosque of the Turkish community in St. Georg is indeed very centrally located. Many other and often smaller mosques where actively religious Muslims can gather for prayers are also spread all over the city of Hamburg. This one in the city centre is open from 4:30am to midday, but there can be minor seasonal changes. The fact that people of other denominations are also welcome at the central mosque reveals the Turkish community´s openness towards other cultures and beliefs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Church in Ottensen |
Kloppstockplatz Hamburg, Hamburg 22765 Germany +49 (0)40 3986 1710 http://www.christianskirche.de/ |
The Christianskirche was named after the Duke of Holstein, Christian VI of Denmark. It is located on Kloppstockplatz in the lovely Ottensen district near Altona, and was built between 1735-1738. The beautiful Elbchaussee along the river Elbe starts here at Kloppstockplatz. Inside the church you can admire a 13th century font which lies upon a more modern plinth. The church has a graveyard where the famous poet Friedrich Gottlieb Kloppstock is buried. You can visit his and his two wives' graves. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Worship in the middle of traffic |
Holstenglacis Hamburg, Hamburg 20355 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
This Neo-Roman church at Holstenglacis is located right next to a busy junction. It was built from 1906-1907. The central steeple is topped by a diamond-shaped roof. The inside of the church is built in a similar manner to many theaters, where everything focuses on the altar and the pulpit. The Gnadenkirche (Church of Mercy) is therefore a splendid example of Reform architecture, which dominated protestant religious architecture before 1900. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic English church |
Zeughausmarkt 22 Neustadt Hamburg, Hamburg 20459 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
The English church of St. Thomas A. Becket has a long history. In 1611, the fabrics salesmen "Merchant Adventurers" set up a branch in Hamburg, and in 1612, the Anglican Church under the control of the Bishop of London, was granted religious freedom in the city. In 1807, the merchants' guild was expropriated by the French Continental System. They used the sum of compensation awarded to them by the city of Hamburg to build this church. Ole Jörgen Smid completed it in 1838, and in 1941 it was put under a preservation order. The church was severely damaged in World War II and thorough renovation was necessary to preserve the building. There is a beautiful copy of Raphael's Sistine Madonna above the altar.

The Fazl-e-umar mosque in Lokstedt is another pleasant sign of the religious variety in Hamburg. Over the last decades many immigrants from all over the world have contributed some exotic hues to the otherwise rather cool and quiet northern German atmosphere. The Ahmadyya Muslims´ mosque is open from early dawn and closes at sunset. The believers gather here for prayers and for some advice from the Imam. For private conversations with the Imam you have to make an appointment in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Opened in 1961, the Imam Ali mosque is one of three in the city, and forms the centre of Islamic life in Hamburg. The turquoise building and lovely grounds have been designed in distinctive oriental style. Recently renovated, the mosque presents an unusual and slightly unexpected sight, but is well worth a visit if you happen to be in the area around the Outer Alster. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Jewish graveyard in Altona |
Königstraße Hamburg, Hamburg 22767 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
Altona's most important cultural monument is located behind high iron railings and shady old trees. Sephardic Jews from Portugal were given the right to set up a cemetery here as early as 1611. Later on, German Jews were also buried here. In Altona there was freedom of religious belief until 1933. Among the celebrities buried here is Hamburg's famous banker, Salomon Heine. The cemetery is divided into different sections, the south-western part of which has very old, shallow Sephardic tombs with Hebrew and Spanish writing on them. In other sections, there are some more recent graves of German and Eastern European Jews. If you are interested in a visit, the key to the graveyard can be picked up at 29 Schäferkampsallee.

Genuine baroque building in Niendorf |
Kollaustraße 241 Hamburg, Hamburg 22453 Germany +49 (0)40 58 1171 |
On Niendorfer Marktplatz in the north of Hamburg you can see a rather unique building by northern German standards-namely a particularly beautiful, genuine baroque church. As it is one of the most popular wedding churches, bridal couples are advised to set a date well in advance. On one hand the church is located on a very busy street, but on the other hand the beautiful Niendorfer Gehege-a park with a deer reserve-is just behind the church and graveyard. That it exists was all down to King Christian VII of Denmark for commissioning this remarkable building-it was built in 1769. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Elbchaussee 410 Hamburg, Hamburg 22609 Germany +49 (0)40 82 8744 http://www.kirche-nienstedten.de/ |
Nienstedten is one of Hamburg's most picturesque districts, and its romantic little church, built in 1750-51 is beautifully located near the river Elbe. It is equally popular among locals and churchgoers from other parishes. An ever-increasing number of couples choose Nienstedten Church for their wedding; nowadays couples from other parishes must pay a fee for permission to get married here. At Nienstedten Church's opening ceremony, the famous composer Telemann was responsible for the music. The parish cemetery is to the northwest of the church and contains the graves of many well-known Hamburgers, such as Hans Henny Jahnn and the Hagenbecks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A commemorative plaque between the main university building and the Freemansion´s building at Moorweidenstraße recalls the terrible function of this place in the time of the National Socialism. Here, at the "place of the deported Jewish people", a part of the Moorweide, Hamburg´s Jews had to gather before they were sent to the concentration camps in the east - Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Minsk, Riga and Lodz. It was not before the eighties that a memorial and the commemorative plaque were set up at the square of the departed people. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Church on a ship |
Ausschläger Elbdeich Hamburg, Hamburg 20539 Germany +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.

One of Hamburg´s oldest churches can be found south of Harburg. The history of Sinstorf´s church can be traced back to the 9th Century. There originally used to be a wooden church building on the little hill surrounded by oak trees, but it was replaced with a fieldstone edifice later, and has seen many changes over the centuries. A separate wooden belfry also belongs to the church. The interior galleries are decorated with beautiful paintings from the 16th and 17th Centuries. Sinstorf church is very popular among bridal couples. Three to four weddings a week are no rarity here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This church has an interesting history. The former Cemetery Chapel was built in 1600 and extended six years later. It was the first St. Michaelis church, the large and popular later version of which is located across the street from it today - commonly known as "Michel". The brick church which can be seen today was not built until the 1950s, however. It was put on the foundations of the Baroque style predecessor of 1757, which was destroyed during the Second World War. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Idyllic city church beside a pond |
Immenhof 10 Hamburg, Hamburg 22087 Germany +49 (0)40 220 3353 |
The Protestant parish church of St. Gertrud is nicely situated on the Kuhmühlenteich. Johannes Otzen built it from 1881-85 in the neogothic style. Interestingly, its walls were made of more than 450 different kinds of bricks. Inside the church there are several galleries carried by arcades. In the late 1980s well-preserved parts of the old St. Nikolai church windows were fitted into St. Gertrud´s windows. St. Nikolai was destroyed in World War II. The metro line U2 provides you with a nice view of St. Gertrud´s on the way from Mundsburg station to the Uhlandstraße stop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gothic brick building with an Arp-Schnittger organ |
Jakobikirchhof 22 Hamburg, Hamburg 20095 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) http://www.jacobus.de |
The first mention of a church at this location can be traced back to 1255. The Gothic brick building on this site was built in the 13th and 14th centuries, but has constantly been changed and enlarged throughout the years. In 1944 a bomb hit the church's steeple and destroyed the dome. Luckily, most of the valuable interior was saved and from 1951-1953 the Protestant church was restored to its former glory and given a new steeple-top. The inside of the church is unimposing despite its decorative and valuable decor. There are three altars dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. A real treasure is the remarkable organ, built by Arp Schnittger in the late 17th century. Even Johann Sebastian Bach played it, and it was carefully renovated after the Second World War.

The Protestant parish church of St. Johannis is located close to the Rothenbaum tennis courts and the Ethnological Museum. The brick edifice in one of Hamburg´s most stylish neighbourhoods was built by Wilhelm Hauers in 1880-82. Most of the original interior has been preserved. Connoisseurs of the fine arts can enjoy a very good copy of da Bologna´s "Scourging of Christ", and music-lovers should listen carefully to the organ player here. Claus Bantzer is one of Hamburg´s most renowned jazz musicians. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Catholic church in the red-light district |
Große Freiheit 43 Hamburg, Hamburg 22767 Germany +49 (0)40 31 4919 |
There is a Catholic church in the middle of the red-light district on Große Freiheit. It looks a bit out of place here in Protestant Hamburg, but it was actually built on Altona land, where there used to be freedom of belief. The streetname Große Freiheit (big freedom) still refers to this law. The frontage of the brick-building is decorated with baroque sandstone ornaments and a portal with figures of the Joseph and Jesus Christ. On top of the gable there is a cross with an angel on either side. The church was built by Melchior Tatz of Austria in 1718-1723. During World War II it was heavily damaged, but has been rebuilt in the fashion of the baroque style. Today, it mainly serves the Polish community. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Right next to the harbour |
Katharinen-Kirchhof (Bürgerhaus) Hamburg, Hamburg 20457 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) http://www.st-katharinen.de |
First mentioned in 1250, this church is located right next to the harbour and sustained heavy damage during World War II. From 1350-1425, it was built as a Gothic basilica and its Baroque steeple - still there today - was added in the 17th century. The silhouette of this copper-plated feature is a landmark within the cityscape. Legend has it that St. Katharina's golden crown was part of the pirate Klaus Störtebecker's loot. The inside of the church is the home of many pieces of art from various periods. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the 14th century crucifix and the statue of the church's patron which dates from the same time. The main altar and the pulpit are more modern. They were built at the end of the 1950s. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This church is located in the lively St. Georg neighborhood. The cathedral has two great spires which make it easy to identify. It was the first Catholic place of worship to be built in Hamburg after the Reformation. The architectural style is neo-roman. Since 1993, the cathedral has been known as the Mariendom. It is the residence of the bishop for Hamburg's, Silesia-Holstein and Mecklenburg's bishop. The original Mariendom was torn down in 1806 after it was found to be unsafe. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Englische Planke 1a Hamburg, Hamburg 20459 Germany +49 (0)40 37 6780 http://www.st-michaelis.de |
One of the city's major landmarks, the Lutheran church of St. Michealis was originally built in the early 17th century. Destroyed by lightening in 1661, it was replaced by a baroque building in 1786. In 1906 the church was again destroyed by fire but was immediately rebuilt true to the original. In later years however, it sustained irreparable damage in the two world wars. The tower offers marvelous views of the city and still plays host to a 300-year-old tradition, whereby a trumpet player plays a hymn facing north, then south, then east and west.

Soot-black steeple - a reminder of WW2 |
Hopfenmarkt Hamburg, Hamburg 20149 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
Nikolaikirche steeple is caked in black soot and reaches towards the heavens. The gothic style church was built in the 19th century and fell victim to bomb raids during World War II. Only the steeple and some ruins were left standing in order to serve as a memorial to 'the victims of persecution in the Third Reich'. A black and white version of Oskar Kokoschka's mosaic 'Ecce homines' ('And such is man') can be found inside the ruins. The colourful original can be admired in the modern St. Nikolai church (built 1960-1962), which also has a huge steeple and is situated at Klosterstern. The mosaic forms the centre of the asymmetric altar hall. Remnants of the old church were incorporated into the baptism altar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Church on the main shopping street |
Mönckebergstraße / Bergstraße Hamburg, Hamburg 20095 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
First mentioned as a market church in the 12th century, St. Petri is now located in the city's main shopping area, the Mönckebergstraße. The church's foundations were rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries. After the fire in 1842, the central part had to be completely rebuilt according to the medieval model made out of brick. World War II did not cause any significant damage. The steeple and the stepped roof are particularly notable, and the western doors have a lovely lion's head as a doorknocker, dating from 1342. It is one of the city's oldest works of art. The church interior is all white, and has more than its fair share of valuables. The paintings, windows and figurines date from various centuries and there are altars from 1500 to the twentieth century. The winged altar, which once stood here, was built by Master Bertram in 1379-83 and can now be admired at the Art Gallery. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In 1903 a wooden vaulted ceiling was added to the church´s interior. There are very beautiful paintings in the galleries and the wooden crucifix at the altar was created in the early 16th century.

Jewish life in Hamburg focused on the Neustadt district until 1860, when many Jews moved to the Rothenbaum quarter. A new synagogue with a rather plain shape and facade was built there on Oberstraße at the beginning of the 1930s. In the 1938 pogrom, the synagogue was heavily damaged and it became property of the city of Hamburg. The city had the building changed into a studio for the North German broadcasting company, which has used it for this purpose since 1950. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The chapel of St.Georg´s hospital used to be located on the same spot as the Dreieinigkeitskirche today. It was appointed as a parish church in 1627. From 1743-47 a new church with a 65 metre steeple was erected here. Only the steeple survived the damage caused by World War II, and from 1954-57 the church we see today was built according to another new design. Inside the church there is a nice trinity mosaic by Karl Knappe, as well a a crucifixion scene in bronze. In the churchyard you will find a statue of St. George fighting the dragon. It was created by Garhard Marcks in 1958. Review © 2007, Wcities |
