The German: Herrenhäuser Kirche in Hanover-Herrenhausen, Lower Saxony, Germany) is a church built in neo-Gothic style. Located close to the Herrenhausen Gardens, it belongs to the Lutheran congregation of the Herrenhausen-Leinhausen parish and is a listed historic building.
Building started in 1904 and ended on 27 May 1906. It was made possible through the Jewish banker Moritz Simon, who encouraged the incorporated villagers of Herrenhausen to spend money which they had received from the capital city Hanover. The other half of the money was later received through donations and collections.
The architect R. Eberhard Hillebrand, who was a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase, decided on the church's Gothic Revival architectural style, for which he used sandstone. The church is 72 metres high and has a church spire with a four-sided pinnacle.
The church shows a final point of an architectural idea – namely to shape a "Church of Words". If you look around inside of the church you will however see that fore, aft and transept show the same proportions. Therefore, the church is also a central building which follows the Greek cross.
