St. Pauli (Braunschweig)

The Paulikirche
Paulikirche from the north-west

The Evangelical Lutheran Paulikirche forms the center of the eastern ring area in Braunschweig. Under the city planning officer Ludwig Winter , it was built from 1901 to 1906 as a representative sacred building on what was then Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse (now Jasperallee ).

The building is freestanding and surrounded by a spacious green area. The nave with the plan of a Greek cross was designed as a central building in the neo-Gothic style.

The interior decoration followed the same style but was changed a lot in the post-war period. The mosaic pictures with portraits of important Protestant theologians and lay people in the choir room are of particular importance. They show the ideals of the Protestant bourgeoisie in the empire.

During the Second World War, the high neo-Gothic spire burned down in the bombing raid on Braunschweig on October 15, 1944 . It has so far not been rebuilt. The side tower roofs were flattened accordingly.

History of the community

From 1934 until his retirement in 1966 and beyond, the pastor and church councilor Otto Henneberger played an important role in the community.

Since 2012 it has formed the St. Pauli-Matthäus-Congregation with the St. Matthew Church .

organ

Originally the Paulikirche was equipped with an organ from Furtwängler & Hammer (III / 39). Like many others in town, this instrument was rebuilt in 1930 by the Dutkowski brothers. The organ survived the war undamaged and was redesigned in Baroque style in 1957. The last repair took place in 2000 by Jehmlich (Dresden). Today the instrument has a cone chests with an electro-pneumatic action.
