history

Old Vicelin Church around 1920

The first Vicelin Church was built between 1914 and 1918 and destroyed in World War II.

Today's Vicelin Church was the first post-war church in Kiel that was built as part of the evangelical emergency church program. It was built in 1949 and 1950 with the support of the American Section of the Lutheran World Federation and was consecrated on March 12, 1950.

On January 1st, 2005 the parishes of St.-Jürgen , Heiland and Vicelin joined the Ev.-Luth. Peace Community Kiel together.

Construction and equipment

View of the interior.

The Vicelin Church is a modified so-called type B church based on the type design by the architect Otto Bartning with unplastered masonry made of rubble and a construction of eight prefabricated three- hinged wooden trusses with a polygonal choir closure (like the other Bartning emergency churches). The ribbon of windows running under the roof has milk glazing . Because the church was built on the foundation of the previous building, it received an additional pair of trusses. In 1964/65, a free-standing bell tower made of concrete, which Wilhelm Neveling created , was added to the church .

The original equipment is simple. In the church one was Neo-Romanesque baptistery of sandstone reused. An organ gallery was created at the same time as the tower structure was erected .
