Also called "Great Church".

Here you can also find the Christmas market in the area.

The people of Bremerhaven call their seafarers' church from 1855 simply and plausibly the “Great Church”, because the red neo-Gothic brick building is still one of the tallest buildings in the city center.

The people of Bremerhaven simply and plausibly call their seafarers' church from 1855 "Great Church", because the red neo-Gothic brick building is still one of the tallest buildings in the city centre.

A church was initially not planned in the founding city plan of 1827, and it was only decided in 1842 to build it. However, the first attempt at construction in 1846 failed due to the soft marsh soil. In 1853, according to the plans of Simon Loschen, who also designed the old lighthouse , 552 posts were driven into the ground in order to build the three-aisled hall church with apse and west tower. The building was made of red brick and decorated with colored glazed clinker bricks, the side facades received Gothic pointed arches. The church building shows many medieval details, but is designed according to classical principles. The ceremonial inauguration by Mayor Smidt took place in 1855 (source: bremerhaven.de/de/tourismus/architektur-denkmaeler/bgm-smid
