The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Thanks in Hamburg-Hamm belongs to and serves a parish of the North Church . The new building on Süderstrasse was inaugurated on January 24, 1974. To commemorate the destroyed previous building, four red bricks of the old church were walled in over the foundation stone.

Predecessor by Hugo Groothoff

Dankeskirche Hamm-Süd (built 1895, destroyed 1943)

The original Dankeskirche, planned by the Hamburg architect Hugo Groothoff , was also located on Süderstraße, about 500 meters further west (house number 238, coordinates: 53 ° 32 '51.7 "  N , 10 ° 2' 52.1"  E ). The foundation stone for the initially free-standing half-timbered church was laid on September 3, 1893, after the building site and the entire area had been raised and fortified. As early as 1892, the swampy quarry landscape was heaped up to +2.20 m above sea ​​level in order to develop the area south of the Hammer Landstrasse . The building with an estimated cost of 53,000 marks cost a total of 65,000 marks after completion in October 1895 and offered the rapidly growing community around 500 places. Wood sculptor Gustav Kuntzsch , Wernigerode , created the altar in neo -Gothic style .

The church burned during Operation Gomorrah on 25/26. July 1943, before a day later the entire Hammerbrook with all church buildings and archives was destroyed.
