The Jakobikirche is a church building in Kiel in the German state Schleswig-Holstein . The neo-Gothic church was built from 1882 according to plans by the architect Johannes Otzen . Today it belongs together with the Luther Church to the Evangelical Lutheran Jacobi and Luther Congregation.

history

The Jakobikirche was built between 1882 and 1886 for a construction cost of 100,000 Reichsmarks. Architect Otzen waived his fee because the building was financed from donations. That earned her the nickname Groschenkirche at the time .

During the Second World War, the church was destroyed by incendiary bombs in the air raids on Kiel in 1944. After the war, from 1952 to 1954, it was rebuilt in a simplified manner based on a design by Gerhard Langmaack from Hamburg. The original pointed tower was replaced by a filigree, lantern-shaped, glazed round tower that lets daylight into the church. He popularly gave the church the nickname Hallelujah Gasometer . In the 1960s, the round windows were re-glazed according to designs by Heinz Borchers, Bremen, and the apse mosaic was created. In 1980/81 the church was renovated by the Kiel architects Peter Kahlcke and Bertram Steingräber. The pulpit, ambo and altar were redesigned. The apse was set up as a baptistery using an old baptismal font from the St. Jürgen Church . In 1986, six windows in the transepts were given colored glazing by Hans-Gottfried von Stockhausen, Stuttgart.

In 2013 the church tower was renovated according to plans by the architect Gunnar Seidel.
