Tabor Church

Tabor Church is an Art Nouveau church in Rahnsdorf featuring yellow brick walls partly covered with plaster and rusticated pilaster strips along its exterior. The building occupies a circular plaza with multiple street access points.

The building was completed in 1911 by architects Peter Jürgensen and Jürgen Bachmann to serve the growing parish. It was built during a period of expansion in the Wilhelmshagen neighborhood.

The interior features Jugendstil furnishings designed by Albert Klingner, including an altarpiece showing the Transfiguration of Jesus with the Four Evangelists. This artwork shapes the character of the worship space.

The building sits centrally on a circular plaza, making it easy to reach from various directions. The square itself offers multiple pathways for arriving on foot or by vehicle.

The choir faces south rather than following traditional religious cardinal directions, departing from standard church-building conventions. This unexpected orientation stands out from typical architectural practice.
