New Apostolic Churches

The New Apostolic congregations in Hamburg belong to the District Church of Northern Germany and were divided into five elders districts until April 30, 2009: Hamburg North, East, South, West and Center. Since May 1, 2009, there are only two districts for the Hamburg municipalities for demographic reasons: Hamburg-Nord (12 municipalities including those outside Hamburg) and -East (15 municipalities including those outside the Hanseatic city). In 2012, the New Apostolic Church made the decision to restructure the congregations in northern Germany and to close a number of locations in Hamburg.
