Church of the Redeemer (Hanover)
The Erlöserkirche ( ) is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Hanover , which was called Zionskirche until 1943 . It is located in the Linden-Süd district .
History and description
The community was founded as a daughter community of St. Martin for Linden-Süd. In 1878 the construction of the three - aisled neo - Gothic hall church began according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase . It was consecrated in 1880 under the name Zionskirche . In 1882 the church tower was completed. The rectory was added in 1893 and demolished in 1980.
One of the first clergy at the Zion Church was pastor Gustav Heinrich Karl Tovote , who, however, only stayed in Linden for about three years. From 1883 and until his death in 1908, the "Poor Pastor" Otto Armknecht worked around the parish of the Zionskirche . The city of Hanover gave him a grave of honor in the Ricklingen city cemetery . In 1909 Otto Oehlkers was his successor.
In 1943 it was renamed the Church of the Redeemer for political reasons . An application by the church council to the regional church office on January 31, 1950 to rename it to Zionskirche was not granted. So the name Erlöserkirche has remained. Today it is one of the best preserved church buildings in Hanover. In particular, Hase's original furnishings (pulpit made of oak with pictures of the evangelists by Hermann Schaper , neo-Gothic altar made of Sollinger sandstone ) have largely been preserved. In contrast to other contemporary church buildings in Hanover ( Luther Church , Christ Church ), the original historic spatial impression was not destroyed by modern installations. When the choir was renovated in 1990, tendril ornaments from 1881 and paintings from 1901 were uncovered and restored in the vault. The Erlöserkirche has been called the Gospel Church since 2002 . The congregation maintains a church music priority program with regular gospel services, concerts and workshops.
