Johanneskirche (Hamburg-Rissen)
The Evangelical Lutheran Johanneskirche in Hamburg-Rissen is there on the eastern edge of the district center at the address Rissener Dorfstraße 2 . It has officially been using the name since 1961.
History and construction of the church
The place Rissen originally belonged to the parish of Nienstedten and from the end of the 19th century to Blankenese . Since 1925, Blankenese set up its own parish office for the places Schenefeld , Sülldorf and Rissen. This was the basis for the independent community in Rissen from the early 1950s.
After the congregation was able to acquire the property on which the church stands today at the beginning of 1934, the planning and construction was carried out by the architect Carl Bensel from 1935 to 1936 , the foundation stone was laid on September 29, 1935, and the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on November 6, 1935 the church was consecrated on March 15, 1936.
The building is a two-aisled brick building with a saddle roof pulled down far . This design is based on historic village churches and became popular for new churches during the first phase of National Socialism . As with other church buildings by Bensel, the tower, nave and chancel are not separated from one another inside.
Since the church was built there have been some minor alterations and renovations, the largest of which took place in 1961 under the direction of Heinz Graaf . In its frame, Gerhard Hausmann renewed the windows and added the rose window above the altar. Graaf incorporated the previously existing separate confirmation hall under the gallery into the nave. Since 1965, the parish hall, located in the immediate vicinity on Raalandsweg, has complemented the buildings of the parish.
Furnishing
The interior today shows simple wooden fittings for the altar, pulpit and lectern. An altarpiece designed by Otto Flath is located in the western part of the nave .
Bells
The original bells were two bronze bells from the Schilling foundry , which, however, had to be given in as early as 1940 for armaments purposes. It was not until Easter 1953 that the church received two new bells.
organ
The first equipment in the church was a Furtwängler organ in 1936, which was replaced by a Walcker organ in 1962 . In 1994 the church council decided to build a completely new organ and commissioned Hey Orgelbau for this .
Today's main organ is on the west gallery, it was inaugurated on December 15, 1996. Your disposition is:
