Gethsemane Church, Protestant parish church in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.

The red brick church exhibits neo-Gothic architecture with an octagonal center structure, steel reinforcements, and terracotta pillars against white interior walls.

Constructed between 1891 and 1893 by architect August Orth, the church formed from an area previously belonging to Zion's Church parish.

The church contains notable artworks including the wooden sculpture Praying Christ by Wilhelm Groß and a bronze statue called The Spiritual Fighter.

Located at Gethsemanestraße 9 in Berlin, the church remains accessible through multiple public transportation connections in Prenzlauer Berg district.

During autumn 1989, thousands gathered at Gethsemane Church for peace prayers and protests, making it central to East Germany's peaceful revolution.

Unusual Berlin: lesser-known neighborhoods, historic sites, and unconventional locations

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
