St. Marienkirche

St. Marienkirche is a Catholic parish church in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf featuring an oval floor plan built in red brick. The interior follows a cross-shaped layout beneath a central dome, with the altar area refreshed through renovations completed in 1990.

The foundation stone was laid in April 1913 after a fundraising drive beginning in 1908 brought the first Catholic church to this district. The community's sustained effort over several years resulted in this religious landmark.

The interior displays artworks by Wilhelm Haverkamp that reflect how a local artist contributed to shaping the sacred space for the community.

The church welcomes visitors and provides a quiet space for reflection. Since 1993, the community has operated a soup kitchen serving daily meals to those in need.

The bell tower rises through seven stepped levels topped with a pyramid and houses four bronze bells cast by Rudolf Perner in 1957. These bells continue to shape the acoustic character of the neighborhood.
