Apostle Church

City tour — Discover Hannover on a city tour aboard a double-decker bus.

The Apostles' Church is located near Lister Meile.

The Apostelkirche in Hanover was consecrated in 1884 and serves as the church building for the Evangelical Lutheran Apostel- und Markus-Gemeinde in the Oststadt district. The church was designed by Conrad Wilhelm Hase and built by Karl Börgemann between 1880 and 1884 as a Neo-Gothic brick basilica. The building is characterized by a minimalist design in which materials and construction harmonize. The tall church tower with its copper roof is a striking urban landmark and shapes the cityscape. The church remained largely undamaged during World War II, except for the windows, which were replaced in 1957 based on designs by Fritz Mannewitz. In 2012, an extension was built on the south side of the church to replace the parish hall, and the gallery was renovated. The church’s original furnishings, including the pulpit, altar, and baptismal font, have been preserved. The organ, built in 1972 by Emil Hammer Orgelbau, replaced the old, unplayable organ. The church bells were cast in 1977 by the Rincker bell foundry. Conservation work in 2010 revealed the church’s original paintwork, but no restoration is currently planned.
