St. Georg

St. Georg is a protected neo-Gothic brick church in Bremen’s Huchting district, built between 1877 and 1879. Its slender west tower rises 46 metres above a rectangular hall and recessed choir. A pointed west portal and rose window mark the entrance, while stepped buttresses strengthen the square tower.

The building replaced a medieval village church first documented in 1266, serving Kirchhuchting, Mittels-huchting, and Brokhuchting. Eduard Gildemeister and Henrich Deetjen designed the new church for a community contributing 30,000 marks. War damage exceeded 60 percent in April 1945, and restoration led to the first post-war service in 1948. Later renovations restored neo-Gothic features, with red tones highlighting the ribbed vault, wall pillars, and window frames.

Inside, a pointed arch opens onto the raised choir and its eastern altar. A stained-glass crucifixion window stands above green-marble furnishings created during the 1964–1965 redesign. The Alfred Führer organ contains 1,512 pipes arranged across 23 registers. Three bells cast in 1956 carry quotations from Paul and sound every quarter-hour.
