Tabor Church, Protestant church in Kreuzberg, Germany.
Tabor Church is a Protestant church building made of red brick in Kreuzberg, positioned along Taborstrasse and facing northwest toward Wrangelstrasse. The interior is defined by a central stellar vault with a skylight that runs through the prayer hall, which is organized with a centralized auditory design.
Architect Ernst Schwartzkopff designed this building, which opened on December 20, 1905. The original tower reached 71 meters in height and became a defining feature of the neighborhood's skyline.
The church takes its name from Mount Tabor in Israel, connected to the Transfiguration of Jesus in Christian tradition. This name continues to shape how the place and its neighborhood are known today.
The building belongs to the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and is easily recognized from outside by its distinctive red brick structure. The prayer hall and surrounding areas can be accessed via the adjacent streets including Taborstrasse and Wrangelstrasse.
A statue of Jesus by sculptor Julius Wucherer sits above the entrance portal, overlooking the prayer hall and the community within. This sculpture is a subtle detail that many visitors miss when focusing on the building's architecture.
