Bethlehemkirchplatz, Cultural heritage square in Mitte, Germany.
The Bethlehemkirchplatz is a square in Mitte featuring mosaic pavement that traces the ground plan of the former Bohemian Bethlehem Church. A steel light installation outlines the exact contours of the building that once stood there.
The Bohemian Bethlehem Church once stood on this site, built in 1737 to serve refugees. The building was destroyed during World War II bombing in 1943.
The light sculpture by Juan Garaizabal recreates the exact form of the former church, making the building tangible again for visitors. The artwork creates a place of remembrance where people can trace the lost architecture.
The square sits in the center between Checkpoint Charlie and the Museum for Communication. Nearby subway stations at Stadtmitte and Kochstraße provide good access from all directions.
An illuminated information pillar on site explains the history of the square in German, English, and Czech languages. This reflects the Bohemian roots of the church that once welcomed refugees from that region.
