Church of the Sacred Heart, Parish church in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.

The Church of the Sacred Heart on Fehrbelliner Strasse in Prenzlauer Berg is a Catholic parish church built in Neo-Romanesque style from Hildesheim shell limestone with Schlesian sandstone surrounds. A roughly 48-metre bell tower with a red-tiled pyramidal roof and a smaller 25-metre stair tower flank the entrance portal, and a round chapel with a red conical roof adjoins the tower. Inside, Friedrich Stummel's Neo-Byzantine mosaics fill the dome and half-domes with figures on gold grounds.

The building was designed by architect Christoph Hehl and completed in 1898, combining Byzantine architectural features with traditional church elements of its era. Its construction took place during a period when Pankow was expanding rapidly as a residential area in Berlin.

The interior displays religious figures and saints through murals that give the space spiritual meaning and invite contemplation from those who enter. You can observe how these painted figures create a sacred environment throughout the building's rooms.

The church sits on Fehrbelliner Street and welcomes visitors who wish to view its architectural features and interior design. It remains in active use for services, so check the timing of your visit to avoid service hours if you prefer quieter moments.

The 500 kg bomb that pierced the roof in April 1945 landed just in front of the Joseph Altar without exploding, while nearly 1,000 people sheltered in the crypt. The crypt had been converted into an air-raid shelter for about 500 people in January 1941. Margarete Sommer, director of the diocesan relief office, hid Jews in the church's heating cellar.
