Trinitatiskirche (Neuendorf)
The Trinitatiskirche is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Neuendorf b. Elmshorn . The towerless brick building was built on an old dike line. With its steep roof and ridge turret, it protrudes over the surroundings and is visible from afar in the flat marshland .
Building
It is a brick building with origins from the 16th century. The nave, which was subsequently extended to the west, has a polygonal choir closure and is covered by a high tiled roof with a full hip on the west side. The ogival, relatively large windows of the ship are all uniform. A brick support divides them in the middle. The main portal is on the north side. It is ogival and triple stepped with inlaid dewsticks . Three ogival blind niches above also show the tau framing. The stepped west portal is a little simpler.
On the roof there is a six-sided roof turret with a Welscher hood , gold-plated ball and weather valve. The shaft and roof surface are clad in slate . The hour bell is located in the white painted hatch floor.

Organ gallery and organ
The organ gallery on the north side rests on slender iron supports. On both sides are the gallery boxes, in the middle the five-part organ prospectus above a baluster balustrade swinging forward like a balcony . The closed galleries are equipped with lattice windows and structured by pilasters . They wear rocailles above the profiled cornice . The parapets show rococo paintings with scenes from the Old Testament.
The organ was made by Johann Matthias Schreiber from Glückstadt in 1756. The slider chests -instrument has 21 registers on two manual stations and pedal . The game action and stop action are mechanical. The rococo prospectus has three polygonal pipe towers and two smaller two-story flat fields. Technical damage occurred due to unfavorable indoor climate conditions, so that a comprehensive restoration was necessary. The work carried out by the Dutch company Flentrup Orgelbau was completed in 2016.

Building history
Construction, destruction, reconstruction and remodeling by 1800
Inaugurated for the Trinity Festival in 1504, the Neuendorfer Church was initially named "The Heylig Dreyfaltigkeits Kirche". The original structure was smaller than the current church and it was given a bell tower in 1571.
In 1627 imperial troops burned down the church and tower during the Thirty Years' War when they approached Glückstadt Fortress. The reconstruction only took place two years later, when the population who had fled to Hamburg returned to Neuendorf. However, the tower was not rebuilt, but replaced by a belfry .
In 1722, the decision was made to tear down the ailing west wall and to expand the building to the west over the previous belfry. The bell was then hung in the church floor.
In connection with the installation of a Schreiber organ, further alterations were made in the middle of the 18th century: a wall was broken through on the north side and an organ staircase and an organ gallery were created.
The last significant redesign was the construction of the ridge turret with clock and hour bell in 1765.
Recent restorations
A report from 1988 led to the extensive restoration of the south, east and north façades, a measure that could only be completed in 1997. Most of the masonry had to be renewed. The monastery -sized bricks and shaped bricks used for this came from the Brickworks Blomesche Wildnis , small-format bricks from demolitions of old houses.
