The Easter Church in Hamburg-Eilbek is a former cemetery chapel that, after the associated cemetery (now Jacobipark) was abandoned in 1962, initially served as a Protestant parish church. Following a 2005 merger with the neighboring Friedenskirche (Peace Church), the parish council decided in 2016 to abandon the Easter Church site for financial reasons. After years of negotiations, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church took over the building in January 2019.

The first documented mention of the region around 1250 mentions the acquisition of land by the Hamburg Hospital of the Holy Spirit between the Eilbek River and the Hamburg-Wandsbek-Lübeck highway. In 1848, a cemetery for the inner-city St. Jacobi Church was established on the parcel of land that then belonged to the village of Hamm, located at a completely unusual distance of four kilometers from the city.

The board of St. James's Church chose a design by the famous architect Alexis de Chateauneuf for the cemetery chapel. However, construction did not begin until 1863, ten years after Chateauneuf's death. The architect Isaiah Wood (1811–1876), who was involved in the construction of St. Nicholas' Church on Hopfenmarkt at the time, completed the building in 1864 with minor additions of his own.

A simple rectangular structure without an apse and with side buttresses, the Easter Church rises from the greenery of the park. A portal decorated with tracery leads into the interior. Gothic stylistic elements are clearly evident here: the slender vaulted ribs, the tall windows in the side walls, and the tripartite window in the choir wall with its tracery in the upper arch.

Damaged during the bombing raids of World War II, the church was restored by architects Bernhard Hopp and Rudolf Jäger until 1962, who simultaneously added the turret, which today houses a single bell.
