Reformation Church, Gothic Revival church building in Moabit, Germany.

The Reformation Church is a church building designed in the Neo-Gothic style, distinguished by its characteristic tall spire. The structure features a substantial tower and was built to be visible from far across the Berlin cityscape.

The congregation of the Heilandskirche became independent in 1896 and grew from 45,000 to 70,000 members by 1904, prompting a second church in Moabit. The foundation stone was laid on 28 September 1905 to designs by Ernst Schwartzkopff, revised after his death by Georg Dinklage and Ernst Paulus; Wilhelm Faber consecrated the church on 17 February 1907 in the presence of the imperial couple. Incendiary bombs hit the roof on the night of 22–23 November 1943, killing pastor Max Steinke during firefighting; the burning spire fell into Wiclefstraße. Rebuilt with a simplified 50-metre tower, the church reopened on 29 October 1950 with 1,200 seats.

The church carries the name of the Reformation movement and serves as a gathering place for community events throughout the year. Neighborhood celebrations and cultural activities held here show how deeply the building is woven into local life.

The church is located in a mixed urban neighborhood with good access via public transport and nearby parking. Visiting works best during posted opening hours when the interior is accessible and guided tours may be available.

The steel roof frame survived the firebombs of 22–23 November 1943, when the burning spire crashed into Wiclefstraße and pastor Max Steinke died trying to put out the flames. The tower was rebuilt only to 50 metres, and a narrow ridge turret replaced the original helm; a new clock followed in 1957.
