Berlin Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Mitte, Berlin, Germany.
The Berlin Cathedral is a grand Lutheran church built between 1894 and 1905, featuring a large dome reaching nearly 328 feet (100 meters) in height, four towers, and Renaissance Revival architecture with Baroque Revival elements throughout its decorated interior and exterior.
Emperor Wilhelm II commissioned the cathedral's construction from 1894 to 1905 to demonstrate Prussia's power, replacing earlier churches on the site, and it sustained damage during World War II before restoration was completed in 1993 with a new golden cross added in 2008.
The cathedral hosts over 100 concerts annually with performances by the Domkantorei and Staats- und Domchor Berlin choirs, and its renowned organ built by Sauer provides exceptional acoustics for religious services, musical events, and the International Organ Summer festival.
The cathedral is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Sunday from noon to 8:00 PM, located at Am Lustgarten with wheelchair access, online ticket purchases required, and visitors can climb 270 steps to the dome for city views.
The Hohenzollern crypt beneath the cathedral contains nearly 100 sarcophagi from five centuries, making it one of Germany's most important dynastic burial sites, though it is currently closed for renovation until autumn 2025 for preservation work.
