The main church of St. Nikolai was inaugurated in 1962 in Hamburg-Harvestehude on Klosterstern / Harvestehuder Weg and replaced as the main church of the former war-ruined church of St. Nicholas, which continues today as a ruin and memorial. The municipality of the new Nikolaikirche was formed from parts of the parishes of St. John's (Harvestehude), St. John's (Eppendorf), Matthew's community Winterhude and St. Andrew (Harvestehude). The old municipality of the destroyed St. Nicholas Church was transferred to the jurisdiction of the main churches St. Katharinen and St. Michaelis.

The foundation stone for the main church of St. Nikolai at Klosterstern was laid in 1960, and it was finally consecrated two years later. As one of Hamburg's five main churches, St. Nikolai was originally located on Hopfenmarkt, right in the center of the Hanseatic city. After the destruction in the Second World War, the congregation found a new home in Harvestehude.
