List of churches in Bremen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Martini and the cathedral

This list contains all churches and parishes that have a church building or a representative parish center (e.g. as with the Protestant Jona parish or the Protestant-Lutheran parish of Lüssum). In the lists of Protestant and Catholic churches, the churches in the old town are given first, followed by the churches on the right of the Weser from Rekum to Mahndorf, followed by the churches on the left of the Weser from Seehausen to Arsten. It can be sorted by name, district and year of completion.

Protestant churches

With the exception of the Evangelical Reformed Church in Rekum, the churches listed belong to the Bremer Evangelical Church (BEK), which also includes the Mayor Smidt Memorial Church in Bremerhaven (all other Protestant churches in Bremerhaven belong to the Regional Church of Hanover ). The indication OW Angabe is the angle of the main axis of the church building to the east-west axis; −90 degrees means that the choir with altar faces north.
