St. Elisabeth Church Hamburg-Harvestehude

St. Elisabeth in Hamburg-Harvestehude is the main church of the Roman Catholic parish. It was built in 1926 according to plans by Heinrich Renard and Jos. van Geisten and is a listed building. The church building is built on two narrow townhouse plots and adjoins the neighboring houses on the left and right. The eaves height also fits in with the buildings. Apart from the asymmetrical tower and the cladding with ashlar, the church is therefore not very conspicuous on the outside. The facade is decorated with "restrained expressionist" decor, depicting, among other things, the legend of the rose miracle of Elisabeth of Thuringia. Above the altar, a triptych attached to the wall shows scenes of the crucifixion, executed in monochrome and semi-sculptural style. Gebhard Fugel created three paintings in the church: the picture above the former high altar is on the left. Two other paintings by Fugel show Mary after the Revelation and St. Joseph as the patron saint of the church. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elisabeth_(Hamburg-Harvestehude)
