Flussschifferkirche

Flussschifferkirche – likely the most unique place of worship in Hamburg – the only swimming church in Germany. Since 1952, the church invites Protestant congregants to attend services, weddings, and baptisms on the waters of the Hamburg port. Built in 1906, the blue swimming church is 26 meters long and has enough place for 130 people. The lovingly nicknamed “Flusi” is a continuation of a centuries-long Hamburg tradition of seamen’s pastors and the first church services on water date back to the mid-18th century.
