[1] The creation of a new church in northern Flensburg was first proposed in 1949 by Martin Nørgaard, a pastor originally from Handewitt.

[2][3] The building was modeled, in part, after Notmark Kirke, a church on the Danish island of Als.

[4] It was designed by the architect Kay Fisker, who died before construction began.

[5] After Fisker's death, the project was completed by architects Robert Duelund Mortensen and Svend Høgsbroe.

It remains the largest congregation within the Danish Church in Southern Schleswig.
