Dorfkirche Stralau, Gothic church on Spree River peninsula in Friedrichshain, Germany.
Dorfkirche Stralau is a church on the Spree peninsula featuring a pentagonal choir and a medieval nave with a brick vestibule that was added during reconstruction. The building combines elements from different construction periods while maintaining its Gothic stone structure.
The church was built between 1459 and 1464 and is the last standing structure from the former village on the Stralau peninsula. The building underwent major renovation in the 19th century when the brick vestibule was constructed.
The church holds Late Gothic stained glass windows, including a 1460 work depicting the Flagellation of Christ that shapes the light and mood inside today. These artworks remain visible to visitors and continue to define the sacred space.
The church opens on the first Sunday morning of each month for services and offers visits by prior arrangement. Those interested in touring the interior should contact ahead to schedule their visit or arrange a guided tour.
The baptismal font inside predates the church building itself and ranks among the oldest religious objects at this site. This rare detail reveals that the location held religious importance even before the church was constructed.
