Auferstehungskirche stands in Hanover’s Döhren district as a modern Evangelical-Lutheran church and protected architectural monument. Its name connects the building with nearby Seelhorst cemetery.

Designed by Hanoverian architects Horst Langer and Andreas Friess, the church uses an irregular hexagonal plan to express resurrection. The curved basalt altar anchors the sanctuary space. Red-brown brick clads the concrete skeleton, while white-painted sand-lime brick lines the walls beneath a wood-panelled ceiling. Coloured stained glass brightens the concrete lattice band. The band follows the side walls and rises steeply behind the altar, directing attention across the uninterrupted interior.

Galleries organise the congregation, organ, and choir areas. A Vesper Chapel occupies the space beneath the congregation gallery, combining sacred spaces beneath one roof. The bronze door depicts Moses before the burning bush. A monumental bronze crucifix hangs above the altar, while the baptismal bowl adds another bronze work to the interior. The church is recorded as wheelchair accessible.

The Hillebrand organ uses mechanical action and slider chests, while the Resurrection bell ensemble carries inscriptions referencing Acts. A reinforced-concrete campanile completes the church’s strong vertical profile.
