Good News Church (Hamburg-Dulsberg)
The Evangelical Lutheran Gospel Church is centrally located on Straßburger Platz in Hamburg-Dulsberg .
Building the church
The property had been planned as a place for a church by the Hamburg building director Fritz Schumacher since 1903 and was highlighted accordingly by the street layout.
The church was not built until 1935–1937 as part of the fully planned development of Dulsberg by the architects Friedrich Dyrssen and Peter Averhoff . The architects designed a large hall church with a tower attached to the side, which received an unusual onion-shaped roof . The nave itself was given a classic gable roof and strictly structured brick facades with neoclassical echoes. In contrast, the interior was designed very modern for the construction period with parabolic concrete pillars.
In 1943 the church was largely destroyed by the bombing of Hamburg , but after the end of the war it was rebuilt in its relatively original form in 1953 under the management of Dyrssen & Averhoff . Therefore, it is still largely as it was planned in the 1930s. The only big change was in the interior, where a flat ceiling was put in place.
On the south side of the interior there is now a large wooden altarpiece by Otto Flath .
organ
From 1937 to 1955 an organ from the workshop of Orgelbau Sauer was in the church, but it was also so badly damaged that it had to be replaced when the church was rebuilt. A new organ was built in 1955 by Emanuel Kemper & Sohn and revised and expanded twice in 1975 and 1983 by the organ building company Hinrich Otto Paschen . At the end of 2015 the instrument was sold to a Polish community. Your disposition is:

Planned renovation
In the course of the decades after 1990, the use of the existing churches in Dulsberg changed due to falling income and membership numbers in the parishes. As a first reaction, the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Church in the street Dulsberg-Süd has not been used for church services since 2005 . A complete demolition of the Frohbotschaftskirche itself was subsequently discussed, but this was partially rejected in the district. In the course of the public discussion, the demolition plans were rejected and a conversion concept for the building was drawn up.
The reconstruction concept of the architectural office WRS Architekten und Urbaner GmbH is favored by the community and provides for two cubic structures to be integrated into the interior of the church, which are to be used as community rooms and a day-care center. Today's choir could largely be retained as a sacred space, the organ gallery would be used for other purposes than before. In October 2014, the head of the Hamburg-Nord district office announced that the funds for the planned renovation were available and that the renovation could begin in 2015. The church buildings that are no longer needed in the immediate vicinity of the church could be demolished and the church would sell parts of the property to finance the renovation. The plans envisage doing without the current large organ after the renovation and selling the wooden frieze by Otto Flath.
