Gefängniskirche Tegel, Prison church in Tegel district, Berlin, Germany
The Gefängniskirche Tegel features twin towers and neo-Gothic architecture, with ascending wooden pews arranged like an auditorium leading to the altar.
Built in 1898, this Protestant church within Tegel Prison grounds served as a dual-purpose structure with its towers functioning as water storage tanks.
The church hosts both Protestant and Catholic services, providing spiritual guidance and religious programs to inmates of different faiths within the correctional facility.
Located on Seidelstraße 39 within Section II of Tegel Prison, the church sanctuary occupies the second floor above the administrative wing.
Recent restoration work in 2023 revealed original wall paintings from 1904, including decorative crosses and floral patterns with biblical inscriptions.
