Ascension church, Modern church building in Humboldthain, Germany

The Ascension Church (Himmelfahrtkirche) stands at Gustav-Meyer-Allee 2 in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen, a hall church on a rectangular plan built in 1956 to Otto Bartning's design. Its reinforced-concrete frame of columns and rafters is infilled with plastered masonry, with a window band beneath the roof edge. A 22-metre open concrete campanile, linked by a low wing, holds three bronze bells cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock in 1954.

The building was designed by architects Otto Bartning, Otto Dörzbach, and Verry Roth and opened to the public in 1956. The project was created during the post-war period as an example of renewal in Berlin's religious architecture.

Since 2001 the Himmelfahrt congregation has been part of the Kirchengemeinde am Humboldthain, and the Syrian Orthodox community Mor Izozoel uses the church as a guest, joining ecumenical celebrations. The rear of the hall, behind a glass door and folding doors, serves as a church café and winter church.

The church stands at Gustav-Meyer-Allee 2 in Gesundbrunnen, with its entrance facing north toward Volkspark Humboldthain. The 22-metre open concrete campanile is linked to the nave by a low connecting wing, and the sacristy sits on the east side beyond a passage. The rear of the hall, under the organ gallery, is separated by a glass door and folding doors and used as a church café and winter church.

The concrete campanile stands 22 metres high, separate from the nave and linked to it by a low wing; inside hang three bronze bells cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock in 1954. The first church on this site, a neo-Romanesque brick building by August Orth, was destroyed in 1945 and its 72-metre tower blown up on 14 July 1949.
