The Gethsemane Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church in the Hanover district of List. The church, completed in 1938 according to plans by Friedrich Fischer, is located at Klopstockstraße 16.

The building is plastered white and has a tiled roof. Inside is a wooden cross; the five windows on the south side, which were created by Otto and Werner Brenneisen and donated by confirmands between 1953 and 1957, show scenes from the Gethsemane story in the New Testament.
