Hochmeisterkirche, Romanesque Revival church in Halensee, Germany

Hochmeisterkirche is a Protestant church built in Romanesque Revival style on the triangular Hochmeisterplatz, with its postal address at Westfälische Straße 70 a. Otto Schnock designed a hexagonal main nave 20 m in diameter and 20 m high to the vault apex, with four annexes: a tower porch to the north-northeast, the choir and a round sacristy to the south-southwest, and side aisles for chapels. The building rests on a rubble-stone base, above which red brickwork is set with white plaster panels.

Construction took place between 1908 and 1910 in the Romanesque Revival style reflecting Berlin's architectural traditions. The building suffered war damage during the Second World War, including a fire that destroyed the roof in 1943.

The name comes from the Hochmeister, the highest office of the Catholic Teutonic Order, after which the adjacent square is named; the Protestant congregation has no ties to the order. The church was called Kirche am Hochmeisterplatz until 1935, when it took the name Hochmeisterkirche, long used in everyday speech. In 1935 the interior was redesigned under architect Stahl-Urach and pastor Max Kaiser: paintings and altar ornaments were removed and the altar set against a deep blue wall.

The church stands on the triangular Hochmeisterplatz, but its postal address is Westfälische Straße 70 a. Because of the plot, the apse with the altar faces south-southwest and the tower porch north-northeast, so the entrance is not on the square's main axis. The interior is a hexagonal room 20 m across with a 20 m vault height.

The hexagonal nave measures 20 m across and rises 20 m to the crown of its vault, so width and height are equal. Because the triangular Hochmeisterplatz left no room for the usual east-facing layout, the apse with the altar stands to the south-southwest and the tower porch to the north-northeast.
