Basic introduction

1908 was laid in April, and was completed on 19 10/23 October, and was funded by the German Governor's Office in Jiaoao.

It is a typical German castle building, covering an area of 1000 square meters, and consists of two parts: the bell tower and the auditorium. The bell tower is 39. 10 meters high. You can enjoy the beautiful sea and sky of the island city when you go upstairs. The giant bell on the bell tower adds a bit of mystery and solemnity to the solemn church. The auditorium is spacious and bright, and can accommodate thousands of people. /kloc-the 0/8-meter-high hall is divided into two floors, upstairs and downstairs. The decoration is exquisite and elegant, giving people a sense of sacredness. Worthy of being a perfect masterpiece of Christian architectural art, there are two two-story buildings in the parish courtyard. One is the annex of the church, and the other is the residence of missionaries. The square in front of the church is flat and wide, surrounded by trees, and all kinds of western-style buildings are patchwork, which further sets off the grandeur of the church building. Whenever the morning light is spreading and the eastern sky is disappearing, distant mountains, trees, green roofs and yellow walls are hidden in the fog. This situation can't help but make people doubt that they are in a foreign country. Climbing the narrow steps of the rock mound, the church's solid and heavy walls, semi-circular arched granite window frames, steep red roofs and green spire bell towers are clearly displayed in front of you. The wall foundation made of heavy granite is dignified and rough, which makes the outline of the whole church clear and concise, giving people a unique aesthetic feeling of religious architecture.

historical materials

Christian church used to be a place where Germans gathered and worshipped. 1897, after Germany occupied Jiaoao, the German Lutheran Church (also known as Lutheran Church) sent a missionary Kun Zuo to Qingdao to preach. Kun Zuo worked as a priest and adviser to the Governor of Jiao 'ao twice in Qingdao, so he chose a piece of land between the Governor's Office and the Governor's Office (now a guest house) to build a Christian church. The church started construction on April 1908 and was completed on October 23rd 19 10, which lasted nearly two and a half years. This church is dedicated to the gathering and worship of German believers, so it is called "German Chapel". It is said that another church in Germany was built according to this drawing. 1925, all its teaching property was transferred to the American Lutheran church, so the Christian church became a place for many foreigners to carry out religious activities, so it was later called "international chapel". After the liberation of Qingdao, the office of the Qingdao Committee of the Third Christian Patriotic Movement and the Christian Association were both located here, becoming the main venues for Christians in China. Christianity (that is, Protestantism) split from the Roman Catholic Church in the16th century, and still maintained the same beliefs as Catholicism, and spread widely all over the world. In recent years, with the continuous integration of eastern and western cultures and the change of people's ideas, Christianity has become an influential religion in Qingdao, and its religious activities are very active. Every Sunday, devout Christians will come to church to pray silently and listen to missionaries preaching the gospel with melodious bells and beautiful hymns.

Christmas is the biggest festival in Christianity. In western countries, people give gifts to each other and hold banquets at Christmas. In recent years, this festival has been gradually accepted by Qingdao people. During Christmas, the Christian church was full of people and very lively.

After renovation in 1980, the church resumed worship on 1 1.2 in the same year, becoming the first officially opened Christian chapel in Qingdao after the Cultural Revolution. The church is also the office address of Qingdao Christian Patriotic Movement Committee and Qingdao Christian Association.
