Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz

The Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz features a 66-meter tower, red-violet clinker brick facades, and a distinctive green copper roof that defines its architectural profile.

The church construction began in 1930 and concluded in 1933, followed by substantial damage during World War II that required extensive reconstruction from 1951 onwards.

The building earned the nickname 'God's power plant' due to its industrial appearance, representing a departure from traditional church architecture in early 20th-century Berlin.

Located at Hohenzollernplatz in Berlin's Wilmersdorf district, the church hosts regular Saturday NoonSong services and two annual contemporary art exhibitions.

Thirteen reinforced concrete trusses support the structure, featuring deliberately textured formwork that resembles the interior of an upturned ship's hull.
