Jakobikirche Kirchrode

The Evangelical Lutheran Jakobikirche is a church in Hanover-Kirchrode .

history

The origin of the Jakobikirche goes back to the 12th century. It was first mentioned in a document in 1295. The episcopal patronage church located in the diocese of Hildesheim at that time was a spiritual center for a larger district. Today's church tower dates from the Middle Ages . After the Reformation , the community became Lutheran around 1540. After the Thirty Years' War , the sacristy and some porches were demolished and only partially restored. A sacristy was missing until 1777.

The restoration of the interior of the church with the construction of a new pulpit, galleries and paintings lasted until the end of the 17th century. In 1679/80 HJ Schrader created pictures with depictions of the twelve apostles, histories according to the Ten Commandments, Passion pictures, the Last Judgment, John the Baptist and Paul.

In 1701/02 the church received its first organ. In 1782 the nave was torn down, and in 1784 the new nave, built in the style of the old baroque, was inaugurated. In 1809 the church received a new organ, which was replaced in 1888 by a monumental neo-gothic slider organ (F. Becker).

The cemetery around the Jakobikirche had already become too small for further burials; In 1864 the new Kirchröder cemetery , which is also listed today, was therefore laid out.

During one of the air raids on Hanover during World War II, an air mine destroyed the church except for the tower and the outer walls on November 4, 1944 . In the 1950s, the church was initially gradually restored and has been restored since 1980.

Over the years, more and more parts of the congregation were spun off as independent parishes. Until the St. Johannis parish of Hanover-Bemerode became independent in 1950, the Jakobikirche was the main church for Kirchrode and the village of Bemerode .

The community has a kindergarten.
