Jerusalem-Kirche
Jerusalem-Kirche stands in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel as a red-brick church with neo-Romanesque forms and mosaics designed by Johannes Grotjan. Its setting includes the Jerusalem Hospital and Diakonissen-Haus, forming a protected architectural ensemble.
The church grew from a Presbyterian mission supporting Jewish emigrants from Eastern Europe through Hamburg’s port. After an air raid during the Second World War, Kurt Schrieber rebuilt it in a simplified form, replacing the original cross-shaped roof with a gabled roof. The congregation later joined Hamburg’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.
A Jehmlich organ from 1983 fills the interior with a neo-Baroque sound ideal. The church and its associated buildings have stood under monument protection since 2007.
