Heilandskirche (Halle)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heilandskirche in Halle (Saale)

The Heilandskirche in the northeast of the city of Halle (Saale) in the Frohe Zukunft district was built in 1937–1938 by Winfried Wendland . It is a typical example of the small church building that was widespread during the National Socialist era.

The church was laid out as a simple building with walls plastered on the outside and a gable roof and completed by a transverse tower. The roof is pulled down low. In the interior there were double doors to separate the chancel and hall. So the hall could also be used for secular purposes of the community.

The Heilandskirche originally had a high, inwardly open roof structure. On August 14, 1944, it burned down completely during an air raid. In 1951 it was rebuilt as a three-aisled flat-roofed hall.

The church was built in close combination with the parish hall and is connected to it in a hook shape. The type of the Heilandskirche follows the Romanesque village churches of the region.
