Markuskirche, Lutheran church in Vahrenwald-List, Germany

Markuskirche is a church building in Vahrenwald-List featuring a distinctive octagonal stone tower. The structure displays Gothic architectural elements and rises prominently above the surrounding city landscape.

Construction began in 1902 when 400 concrete piles were driven into shifting ground to create a stable foundation. This engineering solution enabled the massive building to be erected on difficult terrain.

The western facade displays a monumental mosaic donated by Emperor Wilhelm II, depicting Christ as the ruler of the world. This artwork shapes how the square looks and reflects the religious importance the church held for its community.

The interior features a wide central nave and narrow side aisles that provide good sight lines to the pulpit. Visitors should check opening times before visiting, as the church is accessible during set hours.

The building stands in direct line of sight with Hohenzollernstrasse and incorporates urban planning principles into its design. This intentional positioning gives the structure a special role within the city layout.
