Friedrichskirche

The Friedrichskirche is a Protestant church in Babelsberg with an eight-sided floor plan and a bell tower on the western end, topped by a slate roof. The building contains two interior galleries and received a new organ with 23 stops in 2020.

Built between 1752 and 1753 by architect Jan Bouman, the church served as a spiritual center for Bohemian Lutheran exiles in the Nowawes area. The building underwent modifications in 1927 that included the addition of stair towers and interior paintings by artist Max Kutschmann.

The interior features two galleries and a decorated pulpit that reflect Protestant building traditions of the era. The church served as a gathering place where people from different backgrounds shared worship practices and religious customs.

The church welcomes visitors to regular services and community events held throughout the year. Walking through Babelsberg allows you to discover the church in its local setting and explore the surrounding architecture.

The interior paintings by Max Kutschmann are visible signs of artistic renewal from the 1920s and give the space a distinctive character. These artworks show how the church was updated over time while keeping its historical roots.
