Commanderie de Tempelhof

The Commanderie de Tempelhof is a former religious compound in Berlin's Tempelhof district with stone walls and a functional layout. The spaces follow a clear scheme for prayer, shelter, and daily work activities of the residents.

The building was founded in the medieval period and served as an outpost for the Templar order. After the end of the Knights Templar, it was used and modified by other communities over several centuries.

The building shows how religious communities lived in medieval and later times, with spaces designed for prayer, work, and communal life together.

The site is located in the Tempelhof district and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that access to interior spaces may vary depending on religious activities and services.

The building is one of few surviving examples of a medieval Templar commandery in northern Germany with its original foundation still evident. The medieval architectural base remains visible beneath later modifications that shaped its current appearance.
