Jerusalem Church, Lutheran church in Kreuzberg, Germany
The Jerusalem Church stands in central Berlin with its medieval design elements and distinct architectural features preserved through multiple renovations and reconstructions.
Founded in 1484 as a Catholic chapel with a replica of the Holy Sepulchre, the church transformed into a Lutheran place of worship following Prince Elector Joachim II's conversion in 1539.
The church underwent changes from Catholic to Lutheran, then accommodated both Calvinist and Lutheran services before unifying under the Evangelical Church of Prussia in 1817.
The current building, inaugurated in 1968, functions as an event center and hosts various religious groups, including the Dutch Oecumenical Congregation of Berlin.
The original structure contained a reproduction of Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre, which influenced its name and established its significance in Berlin's religious landscape.
