Kirche zur Heiligen Dreieinigkeit
The Kirche zur Heiligen Dreieinigkeit is a church in Hamburg, belonging to the Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church. Friedrich Weißenborn from Braunschweig built it in 1961. Even the lighting belonged to the architectural plan from day one.
Its organ began with eighteen registers spread across two manuals and a pedal. In 2000, Beckerath Orgelbau renovated and expanded the instrument beyond its first eighteen registers. The lamps tell a parallel tale: each fitting originally held a single socket for a general-purpose incandescent lamp. A prototype with a special reflector system and a compact fluorescent lamp led the way, built to lift energy efficiency. Its design went into the other twelve lights, thirteen fittings in all.
The Dreieinigkeitsgemeinde, an active congregation of that same Lutheran body, keeps plenty going beyond the services. Music programmes and youth work give you ways in, and both build a sense of belonging. The organ draws visitors of its own, and that is saying something in a city as musical as Hamburg.
