St. Andreas in Hamburg is a church in the Harvestehude district , located on Bogenstraße next to the Helene-Lange-Gymnasium . St. Andrew's Church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of St. Andrew . The neo-Gothic church building was built in 1907 according to plans by Hugo Groothoff and is a listed building.

History and church

The parish hall at Bogenstraße 28 was built in 1898, originally only as the second pastorate of St. Johannis am Rotherbaum. In 1907 the church was built according to plans by Hugo Groothoff as a "postponed district church". This explains their “not very representative location”, embedded in the street between the Helene-Lange-Gymnasium and apartment buildings on Bogenstrasse.

In July 1943 the church was destroyed in the course of the air raids on Hamburg . The nave burned out completely, but the tower was only slightly damaged. The reconstruction of the destroyed church took place until 1951 under Reinhard Vogt and the Hamburg State Church Office.

From 1941 the later regional bishop Karl Witte worked at St. Andreas, first as deputy pastor, then from 1946 to 1956 as pastor. From 1968 to 1974 the later professor for organ music Gerhard Dickel was cantor and organist at St. Andreas.

The Hamburg Monument Protection Office placed the St. Andreas Church at Bogenstraße 30 together with the adjacent pastorate and the iron fence on the street side as an ensemble under monument protection .

Architecture and equipment

The floor plan of the central area of ​​the church follows the Greek cross with four short arms. A star vault arches over it. The brick facade has an asymmetrical tower facing Bogenstrasse. The entire length of the church is about 30 m and the width about 25 m.

The original church had two main windows, one above the portal to Bogenstrasse and one above the left (north-western) transept towards the Helene-Lange-Gymnasium. The two main windows each consisted of a large circular window, each surrounded by nine round rose windows. The chancel and galleries were clad with wood, the pulpit was on the right. During the reconstruction, the left round window (towards the Helene-Lange-Gymnasium) was not restored for cost reasons, but bricked up. The gallery, which originally ran on both sides of the nave, was only preserved in the entrance area. The interior was given a surface covering white plaster.

In 1969 GF Steinmeyer & Co. was commissioned to build a new organ , as the previous organ appeared to be "no longer worth preserving" due to its condition and its position on the gallery in front of the large church window. The three-manual Steinmeyer organ has 45 registers.

In the 1970s the church interior was renovated again. The newly created interior of the church contains u. a. Works by the artists K. Weiss (altar and pulpit), Fritz Fleer (altar crucifixes and candlesticks), Ursula Querner (baptismal font), Diether Kressel (window).
