Philipp-Melanchthon-Kirche, Protestant church in Neukölln, Germany
Description
The Philipp-Melanchthon-Kirche is a Protestant church in Neukölln featuring a distinctive cross-shaped layout with a prominent central tower and three connected wings. The building contains a Schuke organ with 2,700 pipes housed in its eastern section.
History
The building was constructed between 1914 and 1916 under the direction of architect Fritz Gottlob. After severe damage during World War II, it underwent major restoration work in 1948.
