St. Bernhard, Filial church and architectural heritage monument in Dahlem, Germany.
St. Bernhard is a Catholic filial church in Dahlem with distinctive brick architecture from the 1930s. The building features a square layout, a prominent portal tower, and a rectangular niche housing a statue of Saint Bernard.
Wilhelm Fahlbusch designed this Catholic church, built between 1933 and 1934. After suffering damage during World War II, the building underwent extensive restoration work that was completed in 1952.
The interior contains bronze reliefs depicting scenes from Christ's passion and suffering. Colorful glass windows create a contemplative atmosphere and offer visitors a quiet space for reflection.
The church is located at Königin-Luise-Straße 33 in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should note that as a filial church of the Rosenkranz Basilica, it may not be open every day.
The architect Wilhelm Fahlbusch appears as a figure in one of the bronze reliefs inside the church. This personal touch creates an unusual bond between the building's creator and his own work.
