History and architecture

The parish of St. Anschar is named after St. Ansgar , the first bishop of Hamburg. The congregation was founded in 1860 as a free-church St. Anschar chapel behind the Gänsemarkt in downtown Hamburg. The design of the chapel at Valentinskamp 20 (St.-Anschar-Platz) came from Carl Heinrich Remé . The chapel was demolished in the late 1960s.

The first pastor of St. Anschar was Wilhelm Baur (1826–1897). The parish of St. Anschar had a strong diaconal orientation from the start. In 1886 she founded the Anscharhöhe as a “Colony of Mercy” not far from the then village of Eppendorf, where the elderly, the disabled and the sick lived. The founder Emilie Jenisch acquired the land for her Emilienstift and sold part of it to St. Anschar in 1885. This expansion was carried out by the second pastor of the Anarch parish, Carl Ninck (1834–1887).

The church building was erected in 1889 as the "Zum guten Hirten" church according to plans by the Hamburg architect Julius Faulwasser . In terms of style, the building is a “simple neo-Gothic hall with a single tower ”. In 1952 and 1969 the church was renovated, planning was carried out by Dieter and Gerhard Langmaack .

Under Pastor Max Glage (1866–1936) the congregation developed in a confessional-Lutheran direction. In 1924 it separated from the Hamburg regional church in order to form the independent "Confessional Church of St. Anschar in Hamburg". From 1952 to 1954 Albrecht Peters , who later became professor of systematic theology in Heidelberg , was vicar in St. Anschar. In 1971 the congregation rejoined the Hamburg regional church. It is both parochial and personal parish and today belongs to the Hamburg-Ost parish of the north church .
