Dorfkirche Marzahn, Gothic Revival church in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Germany
Description
Dorfkirche Marzahn is a Gothic Revival brick church with a rectangular footprint located in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district of Berlin. The tower rises approximately 25 meters and holds three bells, while the interior features cross-ribbed vaults spanning five sections.
History
Architect Friedrich August Stüler designed the building in 1870 as a replacement for a 13th-century fieldstone church that had fallen into disrepair. The new structure was meant to serve the expanding community in this Berlin district.
Culture
The interior holds a baptismal font from the Renaissance period made of Saxon sandstone and stained glass windows portraying the four evangelists. These furnishings shape the character of the worship space today.
Practical
Entry is free and the building welcomes visitors, though steps lead up to the entrance which may challenge wheelchair users. It is wise to check opening hours in advance since the church is only open to visitors at specific times.
Did you know?
One of the three bells in the tower dates to 1660 and was preserved from the original medieval church before it was demolished. The other two bells were cast in 1956 and reflect the connection between past and rebuilding after World War Two.
