Saint Martin Church

Saint Martin Church is a church building in the Märkisches Viertel district made of concrete with strong geometric forms throughout. The structure displays straightforward architecture without ornamentation, featuring large flat surfaces and clean lines that define the entire composition.

Architect Werner Düttmann designed this church in the 1970s for a modern residential neighborhood in Reinickendorf. The building emerged during a period when Berlin was reinterpreting its religious spaces with new design approaches.

The church serves as a gathering space for Catholic worship services while incorporating contemporary architectural elements that reflect modern German design.

Access to the building is level and easy to reach, with plenty of space surrounding the property. The interior spaces are straightforward and simple to navigate, helping visitors find their way quickly.

Light conditions inside change noticeably throughout the day because of the generous concrete openings in the walls. This ongoing shift creates different spatial experiences without the structure itself needing to change.
