- Die Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche im Hamburgischen Staate war eine Landeskirche im Deutschen Reich und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Dabei handelte es sich um die lutherische Landeskirche in der Hansestadt Hamburg. 1948 war sie Gründungsmitglied der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (EKD) und gehörte auch zur Vereinigten Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche Deutschlands (VELKD). Zum 1. Januar 1977 vereinigte sie sich mit der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Lübeck, der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Schleswig-Holstein einschließlich deren Landessuperintendentur Ratzeburg (Herzogtum Lauenburg), der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Eutin und dem der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Hannovers zur Nordelbischen Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche. Diese ging ihrerseits per 27. Mai 2012 in der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Norddeutschland auf. (de)
- This list of bishops, seniors, and superintendents of Hamburg records the spiritual heads of the Lutheran church in Hamburg. Originally the Lutheran church in Hamburg formed a state church established by Johannes Bugenhagen's church order on 15 May 1529, after most of Hamburg's burghers had adopted Lutheranism before. As state church it was governed in administrative matters by the Senate of Hamburg (city government) and the , according to the law named the Long Recess of 1529. At first the church order provided for superintendents as spiritual leaders. Since 1593 the spiritual leadership was wielded by a collegial body, the Spiritual Ministerium, with a senior elected by its members, the ministers (pastors) of the parishes. Separation of Church and State started in 1860, with the last privileges of state patronage waived in 1919. The new church order of 1923 enfranchised the synodals to elect one of the five Hauptpastoren (i.e. principal or head pastors) at the quintet of (principal or head churches) as senior. After the putsch in the synod of 1933 by conservative Lutherans the new hierarchical office of bishop was created, establishing episcopalism and doing away with synodal and presbyterial polity and neglecting the traditional function of senior and spiritual ministerium. In 1934 through a second putsch by German Christians, backed by secular Nazi authorities, one of their acolytes assumed the episcopate. After the British occupiers prompted the bishop's resignation in late 1945, the presbyterial and synodal constitution of 1923 was restored, however, retaining the title bishop, but stripped of any episcopal supremacy, and reestablishing the office of senior, then functioning as the bishop's deputy. Conservative Lutherans prevailed again reelecting their first bishop of 1933. In 1977 the Hamburg Church seized its independent existence and merged with three neighbouring church bodies, in 2012 another merger with two more church bodies followed. Spiritual leaders for the Hamburg region retained the title of bishop, however, the traditional Hamburg seniorate was ended in 1976. (en)
