Ölberg-Kirche, Protestant church in Kreuzberg, Germany.
The Ölberg-Kirche is a Protestant church in Berlin-Kreuzberg with a barrel-vaulted ceiling located near Paul-Lincke-Ufer. The entrance was relocated during extensive renovations that added modern facilities and improved the interior layout.
Architect Curt Steinberg designed this building in the early 20th century as a religious structure for the community. After decades of traditional use, comprehensive modernization in 2014 adapted it for contemporary purposes.
The church functions as a meeting place for worship and musical performances, reflecting how the community has embraced both spiritual and artistic purposes. Visitors find a space that actively welcomes both religious gatherings and creative events.
The building includes sound-insulated windows, modern restrooms, and storage areas that support its various activities and programs. Visitors should note that the relocated entrance may take some searching, and it is wise to check event schedules in advance.
The barrel vault was fitted with special acoustic installations that transform it into a professional recording studio. This blend of church and recording space is unusual in Berlin and demonstrates creative adaptation of the building.
