The Evangelical Church of Aukrug is a church building in Aukrug in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district . The neo-Gothic hall church in the shape of a cross with a semicircular apse was built in 1893 according to plans by the Hamburg architect Hugo Groothoff .
The design of the tower , which was only built in 1922 (completed in 1923), comes from the imperial building officer and church builder Jürgen Kröger , who lived in Innien in retirement. He also designed the memorial for those killed in World War I , which has been located next to the church since 1922.

Building history
The Kiel consortium approved the appointment of a vicar on May 22, 1893, before the community was separated from the Nortorf parish on April 1, 1902 and an independent parish was established. The foundation stone was laid on June 20, 1893 and the building was inaugurated on December 17, 1893. At the inauguration, General Superintendent Justus Ruperti presented a silver-clad altar Bible with its own inscription in the name of Empress Auguste Viktoria .
Building
With the hall church with a cross-shaped floor plan, master builder Groothoff realized the typical village church type for him for the first time. The dimensions and proportions of the rural church buildings he subsequently built in Wankendorf , Brokstedt , Hamburg-Eidelstedt and Hennstedt are roughly the same. The total length of 22.5 m is divided into 11 m for the nave, 8 m for the transverse arms and 3.5 m for the box choir. The white plastered wall surfaces and the frames and decorative strips made of brick can also be found in Aukrug for the first time.
To the south-east of the chancel is an extension that originally served as a sacristy . Before the construction of the church tower, which the imperial building officer Jürgen Kröger designed in 1922, the church had only one roof turret for the bell, which is still there today in a dismantled form. The west facade, in front of which the tower is today, had a whitewashed dazzling tympanum with circular ornamentation above the entrance .
The hall is spanned by a broken wooden barrel , while the choir area , which is two steps higher, has a brick vault. In the chancel there is a wooden crucifix that stands on the cafeteria . The baptismal font is opposite the pulpit, which, as in Wankendorf today, could probably be entered directly from the former sacristy. Today's stalls come from the time it was built and are arranged in two blocks with a central aisle.
The church was renovated in 1929, 1967, 1991/92 and 2014. In 1929 the interior of the church was repainted, in 1967 the church building was connected to the oil heating in the pastorate, and the floor and lighting were renewed. The wreath of thorns that had been hanging in the middle of the church was removed. In 1991 the exterior was completely renovated and in 2014 the original 26 stained glass windows were refurbished . In 1999 the church got new bells, which were consecrated at the Thanksgiving service.
organ
The old organ on the west gallery was purchased in 1931 for 9,104 marks, the new organ on the northeast side was put into service on June 8, 1975 in a festival service . It is a purely mechanical slide organ with three works from the Wilhelmshaven organ building workshop Alfred Führer . She has the following disposition :
