The Christ Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Hennstedt in the Steinburg district . The neo-Gothic hall church in the shape of a cross with an apse was built in 1907 according to plans by the Hamburg architect Hugo Groothoff .

description

A dark wooden ceiling with the support beams and elaborately designed colored windows give the interior a special atmosphere. The altar devices (1905–1907) were donated by the Hennstedt-Poyenberg trombone choir. The bell comes from the Franz Schilling foundry in Apolda ; it was donated in 1907 by the Rantzau provost on the day of the consecration of the church. Stylistically, the church resembles the church in Aukrug-Innien planned by Groothoff . The dimensions and proportions of the rural church buildings he previously built in Brokstedt and Hamburg-Eidelstedt are roughly the same.

Hennstedt, Lockstedt, Meezen, Poyenberg and Gut Wiedenborstel have belonged to the Hennstedt parish of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Kellinghusen since 1905.
