Stadtkirche Vegesack stands in Bremen’s Vegesack district as a church and community centre for the United Evangelical Protestant congregation. Its classicist façade presents four Ionic pilasters and a gable inscription: “One God, One Christ, One Community.” Broad galleries surround three sides of the interior.

Vegesack joined Bremen in 1803, and local worshippers later sought a nearby congregation instead of travelling to Blumenthal or Lesum. August Christian Wilmanns helped unite Lutheran and Reformed believers in 1817. Donations funded the foundation stone in 1819, while Friedrich Wendt and Gerhard Tölken shaped the rectangular hall completed in 1821. Jacob Ephraim Polzin and Johann Friedrich Kimm expanded the building in 1832, adding eastern and western window axes and a slender western tower. That tower housed an optical telegraph station from 1847 to 1851.

Inside, a mahogany pulpit, a temple-like pulpit altar, and two monumental paintings focus attention around the worship space. The stained-glass windows show the four apostles. A model of the full-rigged ship Theodore hangs as a votive offering, while Alfred Führer’s 1967 organ replaced three earlier instruments. The former cemetery became a public park in 1906, where classical gravestones and a war memorial remain.
