Heilige Hildegardis

Important early reconstruction church with tower and side rooms, built as the first post-war church in Rotterdam, with many interesting details. Built as an Evangelical Lutheran Church, to replace the church in the city centre that was destroyed by war in 1940. Now also primarily in use as an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Built to replace the Evangelical Lutheran church in the city centre that was destroyed by the bombing of 1940. One of the first newly built churches in Rotterdam after the Second World War. Traditionalist single-nave hall church from 1948 with three-sided closed over-bricked apse, unarticulated saddle roof tower, built to a design by B. van der Lecq. Strongly influenced by indigenous and North German Romanesque architecture. Internal detailing in clean brickwork. Visible laminated pointed arch points in the nave. Pew plan, pulpit, altar table and stone baptismal font designed by architect Van der Lecq, abstract stained glass windows and murals in the outbuildings by G. van Iersel. Tower top relief with pelican motif by sculptor Gerard Hoppen (1885-1959).

On February 25, 1960, the first pile was driven for the Reformed Church of the Resurrection on Lisplein. A design by MCA Meischke, who also designed the Reformed Church at the Technikon, the Scottish Church, the Mormon Church on Jacques Perkstraat and a -now demolished- Reformed Church in Hoogvliet. The building has recently been partly used as a meeting place for residents of the Liskwartier: the Torentuin. With a café, shared office space and the occasional performance.

Put into service on November 1, 1968.
