Church building
The simple hall church on the Kleiner Hagen, built according to designs by Diez Brandi , was the first new Evangelical Lutheran church in the city of Göttingen since the Reformation was introduced. It was opened for worship at Christmas 1951. It was not until 1958 that a free-standing bell tower with several rooms for other community purposes was added to the nave. The community center was expanded in the following years to include a day care center for the elderly and a community academy.
The church building also houses the kindergarten under the church room and the parish crèche. The church room is also used by the kindergarten during the week.
