Dorfkirche Marienfelde, Romanesque church in Marienfelde, Berlin, Germany.
Dorfkirche Marienfelde is a fieldstone church with a tower on the west side and a semicircular choir on the east. The building has large windows that were expanded during renovation in the 1500s to allow more light into the interior.
The building was constructed around 1230 as a fieldstone church and was fundamentally changed during the Reformation. That renovation with larger windows reflected new faith principles that favored more light and openness.
The church displays craftsmanship from different periods that visitors notice while walking through. The baptismal font from 1629 and stained glass windows by Georg Lippmann from the 1950s shape the interior and tell of the people who have worshipped here.
The location is walkable and sits in a quiet residential area with parking nearby. Visitors should note that access depends on whether events are happening, and it helps to check opening times beforehand.
The church was built from fieldstones left by glaciers, giving the building a rough appearance. A small chapel from the 1300s on the south side now serves as the sacristy and shows how older parts were integrated into later renovations.
