Basilica of St. John the Baptist, Berlin, Catholic cathedral in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.
The Basilica of St. John the Baptist displays Romanesque Revival architecture with brick construction, round arches, and substantial columns throughout its structure.
Emperor William II and Empress Augusta Victoria attended the inauguration of this basilica in 1897, following its construction by architect August Menken.
The cathedral functions as the central church for the Military Ordinariate of Germany, conducting regular Catholic services and ceremonies for military personnel.
Visitors can access the basilica daily between 7:30 AM and 6:30 PM through its location on Lilienthalstraße in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district.
In April 2012, the cathedral received a new altar installation that integrated modern liturgical requirements while maintaining its nineteenth-century architectural character.
