St. Boniface (side view from the south)

St. Bonifatius is a Roman Catholic parish church in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel . It was built in 1909/1910 based on a design by the Cologne architect Fritz Kunst . The building has been a listed building since 1998.

The brick building has a squat cross-section in the shape of a basilica with a recessed choir and a semicircular apse . The main nave is illuminated by small twin windows in the upper aisle . The tower with a square floor plan and pyramid-shaped copper roof adjoins the nave to the north, and with its front side forms the asymmetrical street front. Despite the ribbed vault, the building is reminiscent of Gothic mendicant churches .
