Dorfkirche Lichtenberg, Gothic church in Lichtenberg, Germany

Dorfkirche Lichtenberg is a rectangular fieldstone church from the second half of the 13th century, set crosswise on the northern part of Loeperplatz. Its square brick tower, added in 1792, carries a slender copper spire of Gothic form from 1965/66. The south wall shows traces of two blocked portals, one with a brick frame, and the plastered east gable has three Gothic blind niches since 1954.

Built in the second half of the 13th century from carefully squared fieldstone, the church had no tower and a flat ceiling. Berlin bought the village in 1391 and with it the patronage right; around 1500 a two-nave cross vault was inserted, removed again in 1846. A tall brick tower followed in 1792, and after 85 percent war damage the building was repaired between 1950 and 1954.

The church stands crosswise on the northern part of the former village green, today's Loeperplatz, with the busy Möllendorffstraße running around the square on both sides. Since October 2001 a white marble urn on a round stone base stands left of the entrance, a monument to Anna Katharina Schadow, mother of the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow, who dedicated it "to the good mother".

The church stands crosswise on the northern part of Loeperplatz, the former village green, with the busy Möllendorffstraße running around the square on both sides. The main entrance is on the west side through the tower; a secondary entrance on the east side was removed during the post-war reconstruction. The site is a listed monument and can be viewed from the surrounding square at any time.

The church's oldest surviving fitting is a bell that may date from the 13th-century construction or from the 14th or 15th century; nearly all other furnishings were lost when the building burned in the Second World War. Since October 2001 a white marble urn stands left of the entrance as a memorial to Anna Katharina Schadow, mother of sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow, inscribed "Der guten Mutter".
