Timotheus Church (Hanover)

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Timothei in Hanover, named after Timotheus , on Kärntner Platz in the Hanover district of Waldhausen was built in the 1950s.

History and description

The Timotheuskirche was designed in 1954 as a simple church building both inside and outside. The priority in the rapidly growing residential area was on a quick and functional new building.

While the preliminary design for the Timotheus Church came from the pen of the building councilor Hanns Bettex , the construction was in the hands of the architect Roderich Schröder . As a result, the lightly arranged wall pillars and the large church windows designed by the artist Claus Wallner created a light and friendly-looking interior, which the artist Ingeborg Steinohrt also decorated with reliefs .

Even before graduating from high school in 1958 at night school Hannover church musician and composer worked Oskar Gottlieb Blarr as organist in the church Timothy.
