St. Jakobi, Kirchrode

St. Jakobi is the name of a Lutheran parish and church in Hannover-Kirchrode, Lower Saxony, Germany.

It dates back to the 12th century, was remodeled in Baroque style, destroyed in World War II, and restored.

In 1679/80, H. J. Schrader created paintings, including portraits of the twelve disciples, the Ten Commandements, passion scenes, the Last Judgment, John the Baptist and Paul the Apostle.

A new organ was completed in 1809, but it was replaced in 1888 by an instrument in Gothic Revival style by F. Becker.

The church was destroyed by Bombing in World War II on 4 November 1944, leaving only the steeple and the outer walls.
