history

The church building was built as an emergency church in the years 1949–1950 according to a design by the architect Otto Bartning . After the Second World War, Bartning was the head of the construction department of the Evangelical Aid Organization in Neckarsteinach . Under his leadership, two series church programs and three type designs were created as templates for numerous so-called Bartning emergency churches in Germany. The type template is also visible in the design of the Erlöserkirche in Münster.

The Erlöserkirche stands on the foundations of the neo-Romanesque predecessor church, which was built between 1898 and 1900 according to plans by the architect Karl Siebold from Bethel near Bielefeld and which was destroyed in the Second World War. From the previous church only a 15 m high "stump" of the bell tower comes from the side in front of the church. It houses three rather large cast steel bells that are tuned to the Te Deum motif h ° -d'-e '.

The church is now a listed building . It is a simple, single-nave brick building with indicated side aisles - rather unusual for emergency churches - which give the church interior a basilica character.

Furnishing

The interior of the church is kept quite simple and largely unadorned. The terracotta-colored floor and the simple wooden ceiling construction dominate.

organ

A special feature is the large organ , which was built in the years 1998–1999 by the Manufacture d'orgues de Bruxelles sa Patrick Collon , at the instigation of the church music director at the time, Winfried Berger .
