St. Annen-Kirche, Parish church in Lichterfelde, Germany
Description
St. Annen-Kirche is a three-nave basilica built from dark red brick with semicircular arches and an octagonal spire crowning the tower. The structure displays the geometric clarity typical of early 20th-century church design.
History
The building was erected between 1932 and 1936 following contemporary architectural principles. It suffered severe damage from incendiary bombing during World War II and was painstakingly restored and rededicated in 1946.
Culture
The congregation grew from Catholic migrants who came from Silesia and East Prussia seeking community in their new home. The building became their gathering place and spiritual center in the city.
Practical
The church accommodates 500 to 600 visitors and is accessible by foot from surrounding neighborhoods. Plan your visit around service times, as this remains an active place of worship with varying opening hours.
