Kirche Zu den heiligen Märtyrern von Afrika, Catholic church in Lichtenrade, Berlin, Germany.

The church features a central square building topped with a cone-shaped dome supported by 24 beams and surrounded by a window band.

The church was constructed between 1975 and 1977 by architect Hans Schädel, with the community center completed earlier in 1967.

The church honors 22 martyrs who died in Uganda between 1885 and 1887, incorporating African religious history into Berlin's religious landscape.

Located at Schwebelstraße 22, the building now serves as a kindergarten after ceasing religious services in 2008.

The church structure contains a relic of martyr Karl Lwanga and features concrete and bronze interior elements designed by Hans Wachter.
