Gazing upon the now-empty space, can you envision the Evangelische Jakobusgemeinde? This Protestant church, once a vibrant hub of community life, stood proudly between the Diakonissenhaus Bethlehem and Trierer Straße. Its story, though now etched in memory, is worth recalling. The Evangelische Jakobusgemeinde was born on April 1, 1965. It emerged from the Petrusgemeinde, a division creating a new spiritual home for many. The modern structure of the Evangelische Jakobusgemeinde took shape over the next few years. On January 11, 1970, the church building, known as Jakobuskirche, was officially consecrated by the Landesbischof. The Evangelische Jakobusgemeinde served its community faithfully for four decades. It hosted numerous groups and circles, offering activities for everyone from toddlers to seniors. Mothers gathered with their children, young voices joined in song, and older members shared stories and support. The church wasn’t just a place of worship. It was a vital part of the social fabric. Sadly, on February 1, 2010, the Evangelische Jakobusgemeinde’s doors closed for the last time. It merged back with its parent church, forming the Petrus-Jakobus-Gemeinde. The physical structure met its end in May 2017, when the Jakobuskirche was demolished. A new era began on September 17, 2017, with the inauguration of the new Petrus-Jakobuskirche. While the Evangelische Jakobusgemeinde may be gone, its memory, and its impact on the community, endures.
