Gazing at the Bodelschwingh-Kirche, one might wonder about its modern design. The Bodelschwingh-Kirche in Hamburg-Winterhude isn’t your typical medieval church. It was built in 1962. Architects Gerhard and Dieter Langmaack designed this striking structure. The church’s windows hold a special beauty. They are the work of stained-glass artist Anna Andersch-Marcus. Bodelschwingh-Kirche isn’t just a place of worship. It is a recognized cultural monument, listed as number 24406. It shares a unique connection with two other churches: Heilandskirche and Matthäuskirche. They all belong to the same Evangelical-Lutheran parish of Winterhude-Uhlenhorst. The Bodelschwingh-Kirche’s address is Forsmannstraße 17. Interestingly, the former parish hall next door, at Forsmannstraße 19, now houses the Diakonie social station of the Bodelschwingh Foundation. This foundation carries on the legacy of the Bodelschwingh community. From 1969 to 2000, this community actively supported social work and outpatient care. After the church merger, these vital services transitioned to the independent foundation. The foundation ensures that the spirit of community service lives on, supported by both the parish and the Hamburg-Ost church district. The Bodelschwingh-Kirche represents more than just modern architecture. It embodies the continuous work of community and faith, evolving with the times to serve the needs of its people.
