Anglican Church of St Thomas Becket

The Anglican Church of St Thomas Becket

The parish has existed since 1612, the Anglican church being one of the first non-Lutheran churches to be permitted to establish itself in Hamburg as a concession to the Merchant Adventurers - the English traders guild in the City. The present church building, neo-classical in style, has existed since 1838. We are named after the famous Archbishop of Canterbury Saint Thomas Becket, a martyr of the 12th century.

Today the church has some 80 regular worshippers of all ages and many nationalities. Services are held every Sunday at 10.30am. People of all nationalities and walks of life are welcome to our services and other activities.

Even if you can't come to church, or have had no previous contact with a church, do be encouraged to get in touch. You might find this a good starting point to get to know people in Hamburg, many in the congregation have also had the experience of being newcomers to the City.

Children (4-11) are especially welcome to attend Junior Church (Sunday School) which meets at 10.30am on Sundays.

The church is located in the centre of Hamburg close to the Lutheran Hauptkirche St. Michaelis and is easy to reach by public transport.
