Nikodemuskirche Ohlsdorf
The Nikodemuskirche Ohlsdorf is a modern church in the Ohlsdorf district of Hamburg, serving the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Ohlsdorf-Fuhlsbüttel. You will find no centuries of history here: the building belongs to the present. Its home city is known for cultural diversity and historical significance.
The church also serves the local population as a community centre, hosting events and gatherings of many kinds. Day to day, the parish runs numerous activities centred on community engagement and support. It belongs in turn to the Nordkirche, the Evangelical Lutheran church in northern Germany. Its remit runs from education and social dialogue to mission. The same body takes on societal issues and offers help to people who need it.
Inside, one feature explains why people notice the church: an altar room designed to resemble the hull of a ship. That choice shapes the whole interior and sets it apart from more traditional designs. In that room, the space closes around you like the inside of a vessel.
