Christ-König-Kirche
The Christ-König-Kirche stands in Lokstedt, a district of Hamburg, and the Evangelical Lutheran parish has made its home there since 1958. The church serves the area as a place of worship and community gathering, and its interior holds two features worth seeking out.
The organ is the work of Rudolf von Beckerath, with twenty-five registers, two manuals and a pedal. That makes it a significant piece for organ music enthusiasts. Thierry Boissel designed the altar window, installed in 2014 as a three-part glasswork running floor to ceiling.
Boissel, born in France in 1962, is known for pieces built from layered and textured glass. His window fills the interior with fields of colour that vary in intensity. As the angle of the light changes, it casts a warm glow towards the altar.
