Offenbarungskirche

The Offenbarungskirche features a longitudinal structure with a polygonal choir space illuminated by continuous window bands and wooden arches supporting the interior.

Built in 1949 as the first post-World War II church in Berlin, this structure belongs to a series of 43 emergency churches designed by Otto Bartning.

The church serves the Evangelical Church Community of Boxhagen-Stralau and maintains regular religious services while functioning as a community center for local activities.

Located at coordinates 52.5073, 13.4614, the church building includes multiple rooms for community gatherings and features an organ installed in 1962 facing the congregation.

The Swiss Protestant Church Aid organization provided funding for this building, which demonstrates principles of serial production and assembly construction methods.
