Dorfkirche Altglienicke

Dorfkirche Altglienicke is a Protestant church featuring a distinctive square tower topped with a steep pyramid-shaped roof that defines the local skyline. The building displays neo-Romanesque design elements and is constructed from red brick.

Construction took place between 1894 and 1895 according to architect Ludwig von Tiedemann's designs, replacing an earlier baroque church from 1757 that had occupied the same site. This new building was needed to serve the expanding local community.

The church serves as a gathering place for the Protestant community and houses a fair trade shop selling handcrafted goods from around the world. Visitors can see how it combines spiritual practice with support for artisans and social projects.

The church is located at the corner of Semmelweisstrasse and Köpenicker Strasse in the Treptow-Köpenick district and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors can attend services or simply walk past to appreciate the building's architectural style.

The building suffered severe bomb damage during World War II but was completely restored in an impressively short timeframe. This rapid reconstruction allowed the original architecture and many fine details to be preserved.
