The New Apostolic Church in Hamburg-Eppendorf was built in 1955/56 to a design by architect Theo Hirte. The building, with its light-coloured clinker bricks and the implied flying roof, is typical for the modern architecture of its time. With its original seating capacity of over 1,000, the new church was intended to provide sufficient space for the steadily growing congregation founded in 1922 as well as to enable the return of the branch congregations.

In the decades that followed, there were repeated innovations, with the last comprehensive modernisation taking place at the beginning of the 1970s. Since the installation of the Hüfken organ, which was inaugurated in 2002, the church hall with its good acoustics has been a much-used space for concerts, and not just by the church.

After 65 years of use, the building was once again adapted to contemporary parish use as part of a comprehensive renovation and modernisation – in close consultation with the responsible monument protection office. Necessary installations were sensitively integrated into the existing interior architecture and room configuration. The new family rooms on the ground floor are particularly noteworthy here.
