Matthew Church,, Gothic Revival church building in Steglitz district, Germany.
The Matthew Church is a brick building in Gothic Revival style with three naves and pointed arches arranged symmetrically. A tower reaching 68 meters (223 feet) rises prominently where Schloßstraße meets other streets.
Construction took place from 1876 to 1880 under architect Emil Gette's design, replacing an older village church that no longer served the expanding settlement. The new building was needed to accommodate Steglitz's growing population.
The Matthew Church serves as a gathering place for an active Protestant congregation that organizes worship services, concerts, and community events. It remains central to neighborhood life in ways that visitors can observe through the people who gather here regularly.
The church is open to visitors and hosts regular services along with nursery and kindergarten facilities in adjoining spaces. You can view the interior when services are not taking place.
During the Second World War, an air raid in 1945 shattered all the church's windows due to pressure waves. The extensive restoration of these windows did not happen until the 1950s.
