St. Nikolai Finkenwerder is an Evangelical Lutheran parish in Hamburg-Finkenwerder . The community belongs to the Hamburg-Ost parish of the North Elbian regional church . The existence of a church in Finkenwerder has been documented since the 16th century; today's brick church is the fourth church building in the community and was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1880–1881 . Parts of the church's furnishings from the previous churches are under monument protection.

history

A church on Finkenwerder was first documented in 1568 on the map of the Elbe by the cartographer Melchior Lorck . The first surviving church registers date back to 1621. (The parish registers of the parish from 1621 to 1870 were processed by Walter Scheidt in a “folklore and racial study” from 1925 to 1927. The study was supported by Georg Thilenius as director of the Völkerkundemuseum , where the genealogical Data are scattered .) The church in Finkenwerder is located in the middle of the village on Finkenwerder Landscheideweg. This path - formerly Graben - formed the border between the county of Holstein-Pinneberg in the northern part of Finkenwerder and the Principality of Lüneburg in the southern part in the 16th century . This border, later between the Kingdom of Hanover or Prussia in the south and Hamburg in the north, remained in place until the Greater Hamburg Act of 1937.

Architecture and equipment

Interior with a view of the organ gallery

Today's church was built according to plans by the architect Wagner from Winsen / Luhe . It has the shape of a three-aisled basilica with a symmetrically arranged tower 36 m high. The case of the organ on the west side, built in 1881, comes from master carpenter Eckermann from Hamburg, the organ works from Furtwängler from Elze. The pulpit, the chandelier and an altarpiece come from the previous buildings of St. Nikolai and are under monument protection. After damage from the storm surge of 1962 , the church was modernized and rebuilt in 1965–1967 according to plans by Werner Kallmorgen . A high side entrance was added and the church received colorful altar windows.
