St. Elisabeth, Filial church in Schöneberg, Germany.
Description
St. Elisabeth is a Gothic Revival church marked by two slender octagonal stair towers and a large tracery window with pointed arches. The building contains a spacious hall beneath the main floor with parquet flooring, which serves various community purposes instead of traditional stone construction.
History
Construction of this church started in 1907 with a temporary chapel and the main building was completed in 1911 under architect Bernhard Hertel's direction. It was built during a period when the Schöneberg community was expanding and needed new religious spaces.
Culture
The wooden carvings inside show images of Saint Elisabeth and busts of church teachers like Gregory, Ambrose, Augustine, and Jerome. These works express religious ideas through their artistic design.
Practical
The building is easily accessible for various functions thanks to the spacious hall below the main level that can be used flexibly. The distinctive towers serve as a good landmark for orientation in the neighborhood.
