Zwinglikirche

The Zwinglikirche features a tall quadratic tower reaching 81 meters high with an octagonal spire that defines the neighborhood skyline.

The church opened on February 8, 1908, replacing a wooden chapel that served the growing population south of the railway grounds at Warschauer Strasse.

A life-size bronze statue of reformer Huldrych Zwingli stands in a niche at the base of the tower, reflecting Protestant religious heritage.

The building serves both as a religious center and cultural venue, hosting exhibitions and events through the KulturRaum Zwingli-Kirche association.

In 1908, Zwinglikirche became the first fully electrically illuminated church in Berlin, featuring hundreds of exposed light bulbs in artistic arrangements.
