St. Maria-Magdalena-Kirche, Catholic church in Niederschönhausen, Germany
Description
St. Maria-Magdalena-Kirche is a Catholic church in Niederschönhausen built from clinker brick with a rectangular plan and central tower. The structure displays clean geometric forms that appear well-balanced in their proportions.
History
Construction began in 1929 following architect Felix Sturm's designs and was consecrated in 1930 by Bishop Christian Schreiber. The building arose during a period of major urban development in northern Berlin.
Culture
The colored glass windows inside depict biblical scenes and blend Jugendstil with expressionist design elements. This artistic approach shapes how visitors experience the interior space.
Practical
The building sits on Platanenstraße in Niederschönhausen and is easy to spot from outside thanks to its tower. Access is straightforward and the interior accommodates a medium-sized congregation.
Did you know?
The facade uses Beuthener clinker brick, a special material from Upper Silesia, which gives the church its distinctive color. Above the entrance portal sits a terracotta relief depicting the Resurrection of Christ.
