Alte Nazarethkirche

Alte Nazarethkirche is a church building with Romanesque Revival architecture made of red brick featuring characteristic rounded arches and sturdy stone structures. The solid structure with its substantial walls creates a notable presence in the area around Leopoldplatz.

Architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed the building between 1832 and 1835 while serving as chief architect of Prussia's state building projects. The project emerged during Berlin's period of urban expansion following the Napoleonic Wars.

The church serves as a gathering place for evangelical communities and remains active for worship services today. Local residents come together here for religious celebrations and community events.

The building is located near Leopoldplatz in the Mitte district and is easy to reach on foot. The area has good connectivity, and visitors can explore the surrounding streets and neighborhoods.

The brickwork was made from materials sourced in northern Italy, which Schinkel specifically selected to create varied patterns across the facade. This careful choice of materials becomes visible in the fine texture of the brick patterns when observing the building.
