Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Gothic Revival church in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.

Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a red-brick Gothic Revival church designed by Christoph Hehl and consecrated in 1908. Its square tower on the left carries a steep faceted green roof, while the nave has a red tiled roof and gabled sections. Pointed-arch windows with dark glazing and green lower panels line the brick walls, and a stepped pointed-arch portal leads into the tower hall.

The church was completed in 1908 according to designs by architect Christoph Hehl, during a time of expanding Catholic influence in Berlin. Its construction marked a period when religious buildings were being added to the rapidly growing city.

The name Herz-Jesu (Sacred Heart) comes from a donor who gave 50,000 marks toward the building. Inside, four 2.20-metre bronze figures of Mary, Joseph and two music-making angels stand on the central pillar, carved by sculptor Josef Limburg. The parish became independent in 1910 and a parish in 1920.

The church stands at the corner of Schmarjestraße in Zehlendorf, set back from the street beside a paved path and lawn. The main entrance is the recessed stepped-arch portal at the base of the tower; a second, open porch with a pointed-arch arcade opens into the nave beneath the organ gallery. Visitors should confirm opening times before travelling, as the interior is not continuously accessible.

The name comes from a donor who contributed 50,000 marks on condition that the church be dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The total building cost was given by the architect as around 500,000 marks. A capsule with coins and documents of the period was walled in at the base of the central pillar at the laying of the foundation stone.
