The impressive interior is characterised by dark wood and bright walls. The cassettes of the flat ceiling are painted with blue accents and star decorations. The gallery runs along the three sides of the church’s interior. The furnishings include a cup-shaped baptismal font in the Classical style. The batik hanging dating from 1962 bear the title “Auferstehung Christi” (The Resurrection of Christ). The organ is by the Sauer company and dates from 1956.
