Magdalenenkirche, Protestant church in Neukölln, Germany

The Magdalenenkirche is a red-brick Protestant church at Karl-Marx-Straße 201 in Neukölln, built 1877–1879 by Wendt and Hermann Bohl in Rundbogenstil. It has a basilican nave with a polygonal 5/8 choir and a square west tower topped by an octagonal helm flanked by four corner turrets. The facade is divided by pilasters, string courses and round-arch friezes.

The old village church at Richardplatz had long been too small, so a new site on the former Rixdorf cemetery was chosen. The foundation stone was laid on 12 July 1877, and the church was consecrated on 25 March 1879. It was renovated in 1910, 1929 and 1984–1986, and became an independent parish in 1948.

The church is named after Mary Magdalene, who is shown in a painting meeting the risen Christ. A portrait of Martin Luther beside the entrance was painted in 1883 by Ernst Moritz Geyger. The congregation became independent of the Neukölln town parish on 1 April 1948.

The church sits on Karl-Marx-Straße and is easy to reach by public transportation with several bus stops nearby. For details about visiting hours or services, you can contact the church administration directly by phone.

The baptismal font is carved from a capital of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche, destroyed in the Second World War. The church itself survived the war with only minor damage apart from its windows. Its organ, built in 1879 by Ferdinand Dinse, lost many pipes to theft during both world wars.
