Gethsemane-Kirche

You're standing before one of Otto Bartning's notable emergency churches, built in 1950. This Gethsemane Church is a protected landmark and a vital part of the Protestant community here in Bochum-Hamme. Its straightforward design and lines reflect the post-war era when it was constructed. Take a closer look at the structure — it embodies a functional yet spiritual space. It's a place of serenity that holds a special meaning for the local community. If you turn around, you might also notice the proximity to the Herz-Jesu Church, just a few hundred meters to the west.
