Culture
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.
