Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Parish church in Westend, Berlin, Germany.
The Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a parish church in Westend featuring a steel skeleton structure and a steeply pitched roof at about 28 degrees. The interior is open and free of supporting columns, providing seating for about 228 people and creating a spacious worship space.
The church was built in 1932 by the architectural firm Sager & Woerner to serve the growing Catholic community in Westend. The modern steel construction was an innovative approach to church building in Berlin at that time.
The church serves as a gathering place where the community comes together for worship and music. Weekly singing sessions on Wednesday evenings shape the place as a center for musical expression within the neighborhood.
The church is near Neu-Westend U2 station and the Heerstraße S3 and S9 stations. The open layout and good accessibility make it easy to reach for services and events.
Inside the church hangs a large bronze bell from 1927 weighing about 210 kilograms. The bell bears an inscription from the Gospel of John 17:21, emphasizing the theme of unity.
