Evangelische Kirche Alt-Lietzow, Protestant church in Charlottenburg, Germany.
Evangelische Kirche Alt-Lietzow is a modern church building with a distinctive tent-shaped roof structure and a separate bell tower. A covered walkway connects the main sanctuary to the adjacent community house used for gatherings and services.
The building opened in 1961 and represents the fifth church to stand on this site, with previous structures dating back to 1541 being damaged or dismantled over the centuries. The reconstruction took place in the postwar period and embraced modern architectural principles.
The church preserves a baptismal font from 1599 made of Saxon sandstone, which was restored and placed in front of the altar in 2006. This ancient basin connects the community to centuries of baptism ceremonies and remains in active use today.
The main sanctuary holds approximately 300 people, while the community house next to it accommodates about 185 additional visitors. Both spaces are connected by a covered walkway, making movement between the buildings convenient during services and events.
The building underwent several architectural transformations, progressing from neo-Gothic twin towers to a neo-baroque single tower before adopting its current modernist tent-shaped design. These changes reflect the shifting architectural ideals of the twentieth century.
