Nazareth Church

The Nazareth Church is one of two churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Südstadt parish in the southern part of Hanover.

history

In 1901, the parish council of the St. Marien garden church purchased a plot of land on the corner of Krausenstrasse and Sallstrasse for around 160,000 marks. There the parsonage was built in 1904/1905, which was then occupied by the then 3rd pastor of the garden church parish, Pastor Uhden. In the same year, after an advertised competition, the architect Otto Lüer received the order to build a church, for which the Evangelical Lutheran Association approved 250,000 marks. The foundation stone was laid on June 25, 1905 , and on April 1, 1907, the 2nd Easter day, the church was inaugurated after almost two years of construction, a simple neo-Romanesque vaulted building with a 70 meter high tower. The first pastor Karl Uhden gave the Nazareth Church its name.

Initially, the Nazareth Church stood on the edge of the city in a green area. After a few years of existence, the residential districts of Hanover expanded further south. During the Second World War , the rectory, tower, baptistery and sacristy of the church were destroyed by bombs in the night of October 8th to 9th, 1943 during the largest air raid on Hanover . The interior of the church was largely preserved. On June 11, 1955, the rebuilt parish and parish house, and on the first Sunday of Advent in 1958, the partly rebuilt and redesigned church was consecrated.

In 2009 the Nazareth parish and the neighboring parishes Athanasius and Paulus merged to form the Südstadt parish. Four years later the Athanasius Church was closed.

At the end of 2013, the Südstadt columbarium was inaugurated in the north aisle . It lies under the north gallery and is separated from the nave of the church by glass walls. According to the description of the Evangelical Lutheran Südstadt parish, the columbarium is a Christian burial place with 672 graves. The names of the deceased are attached to the graves. The rest period of 20 years can be extended. After the rest period has expired, the urns are buried in the tower of the church.
