St. Jürgen (Hamburg-Langenhorn)
The St. Jürgen Church is a Protestant church in Hamburg-Langenhorn . It is located near the northern city limits, was ordained on March 19, 1939 and is available from 4 August 2003 under the monument .
History and architecture
The church was built from 1938 to 1939 based on a design by the architect Gerhard Langmaack . It is his first church in Hamburg and combines the homeland security style of the Nazi era with elements of the New Building . The predominant building material is brick , the nave, which is designed for 240 seats, was designed as an east-facing hall church with a steep pitched roof . The 35 m high tower, which is strongly integrated into the actual church building, clearly shows the castle and defense character typical of the Heimatschutz style, which is contrasted by the solar cell system installed on the roof in 1997 . The connection between church and pastorate to form a common building was considered unusual and controversial for the construction period .
The group building of the church and pastorate was expanded from 1961 to 1962 to include a parish hall and an administration building. Langmaack also supplied the designs for both buildings, so that despite the long time lag between the construction of the church, a uniform architectural style was maintained.
The name “St. Jürgen ”as the Low German form of St. Georg was chosen because the St. Georg Hospital owned land in Langenhorn at the time of construction.
Interior
The church has a wooden pulpit and an organ gallery above the main entrance, which leads through the ground floor of the tower into the main room. The side windows loosened up with colored glass are rectangular, above the altar wall there is a colored round window designed by Claus Wallner with motifs from the Revelation of John .
Because it was built shortly before the Second World War, wooden beams were mainly used in the interior to save steel. The barrel ceiling contrasts with the rectangular choir .
