St. Nikolai
Hopfenmarkt, Neustadt, Hamburg, GermanyTel: +49 40 4411340
St. Nikolai's steeple is caked in black soot and reaches towards the heavens. The gothic style church was built in the 19th century and fell victim to bomb raids during World War II. Only the steeple and some ruins were left standing in order to serve as a memorial to 'the victims of persecution in the Third Reich'. A black and white version of Oskar Kokoschka's mosaic 'Ecce homines' ('And such is man') can be found inside the ruins. The colourful original can be admired in the modern St. Nikolai church (built 1960-1962), which also has a huge steeple and is situated at Klosterstern. The mosaic forms the centre of the asymmetric altar hall. Remnants of the old church were incorporated into the baptism altar.
