St.-Georgskirche, Gothic Revival parish church in Pankow, Germany.
St.-Georgskirche is a parish church in Pankow built entirely from brick and designed in the Gothic Revival style. The building features pointed arches and vaulted ceilings that are typical of this architectural approach.
The church was built in 1909 to serve the expanding Catholic community in Pankow. The project emerged in response to rapid population growth occurring in this district.
The church is named after Saint George, the patron it was dedicated to in 1910. Inside, a small Marian chapel holds a copy of the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, placed there at the dedication and still present today. Since 2021 St. Georg has belonged to the parish Heilige Theresa von Avila Berlin Nordost, together with St. Josef in Weißensee, Heilig Kreuz in Hohenschönhausen and Corpus Christi in Prenzlauer Berg.
The church is primarily accessible during services and religious celebrations held throughout the year. Visitors should check current opening times and scheduled events before planning a visit.
The land, a 60,000 m² plot, was a gift from the Boden-Aktiengesellschaft on two conditions: build a somewhat monumental church and start work in spring 1906. Curate Hubert Teubner raised funds across Germany with begging letters enclosing a perspective drawing of the planned church, earning him the nickname "the beggar on the Panke".
