Kirche Zur Frohen Botschaft, Protestant church in Karlshorst, Germany

Kirche Zur Frohen Botschaft in Berlin-Karlshorst is a Protestant church building distinguished by a prominent tower topped with a copper-clad spire. The interior features a spacious central nave and suspended dome vaults that create an expansive worship environment.

The parish founded on 1 July 1906 made its own church a priority; architects Peter Jürgensen and Jürgen Bachmann won the 1907 competition, and the foundation stone was laid on 9 May 1909. The church was consecrated on 8 May 1910 in the presence of Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia. Damaged late in World War II, it stood in the Soviet military zone and served as a store and horse stable; on 23 May 1955 it was handed back, and Bishop Otto Dibelius reconsecrated it on 15 July 1956 as "Zur frohen Botschaft".

The church received its name only on 15 July 1956, when Bishop Otto Dibelius reconsecrated it after wartime damage and years as a Red Army store and stable. The entrance vestibule hosts small services, music evenings with a harpsichord, and family gatherings with drinks. The 1922 cast-iron bells are tuned to those of the nearby Catholic church St. Marien.

The prominent tower serves as an easy landmark for orienting yourself in the area. Regular services and community gatherings take place within, offering visitors opportunities to experience the space during active use.

The tower's three bronze bells from 1910 were removed during the First World War: two were melted down for war material in May 1917 and the smallest was sold to Triptis. In 1922 the firm Ulrich und Weule in Bockenem cast three steel bells for 102,000 marks, dedicated on 19 March 1922 and tuned to the bells of the nearby Catholic church St. Marien.
