Paul Gerhardt church, Modern church in Schöneberg, Germany
Description
Paul Gerhardt Church is a modern church building in Schöneberg with a reinforced concrete structure and angular geometric design. The building creates generous interior spaces beneath its distinctive angled roof forms and concrete surfaces throughout.
History
The present building was constructed between 1958 and 1962 by architects Hermann Fehling and Daniel Gogel. It replaced an earlier 1909 church that was destroyed during World War II.
Culture
The church is named after a 17th-century Protestant poet and hymn writer whose works remain known in German Protestant tradition. Today it serves both Evangelical and Old Catholic congregations, a shared use that shapes its daily activities and community gatherings.
Practical
The building is located at Hauptstraße 47 and is easy to access. The church hosts regular public activities including orchestra rehearsals and community gatherings that visitors can join throughout the week.
Did you know?
The church preserves three cast steel bells from the original 1909 building, each hung at different heights and inscribed with text. These bells connect the earlier church's history to the new structure and ring during special occasions and services.
