Interesting church, Germanic architecture from XIX Century! In this church started the movement Umwelt-Bibliothek, founded by a group of young people during the 1980’s concerned with environmental issues, after Chernobyl disaster, creating a library of books that were not allowed by the autocratic and communist DDR Regime. This books were mainly of political science and environmental issues, issues that were forbidden in a regime with lack of democracy and freedom... This movement was the trigger to the base of Grünen, the Green political party in Germany!! Negative issues about this church and that’s why I don’t give 5 stars: The information of the big placards is only written in german, there are some small flyers in english, but not so rich in information! Lucky I can manage to understand a bit german, but for many of tourists, mokoko!! Umwelt-Bibliothek was located on the cave of the church... no information how to get there and if is possible to go... is a shame, because I’m sure is the struggle against the communist and totalitarian regime that attracts more the people to this church! (This are the two aspects why I don’t give 5 stars) Other 2 aspects to be mentioned: The tower is closed because of Covid-19 The church needs renovation, with great hope, the works will start on 2021

I see this old church daily on my way to the University, and I went inside once casually. Sometimes they offer free coffee, tea and biscuits, and there is a small permanent exhibition on the history of Kastanierallee and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Concerts happen here occasionally. There was also a temporary exhibition set up in the first floor that contained very old nature and structure photographs of Germany.

Very beautiful church, especially exterior. It was open and free to enter. There is some information and pictures about church history. On the wall behind the altar you can still see the original painting. You can go stairs up, to enjoy the church interior from top. There was an interesting "Paper sculpture" exhibition in that time. There is open toilet in basement.

Ein wahrlich geschichtsträchtiger Ort. Eine der Wirkungsstätten Bonhoeffers. Das verspricht viel. Leider hält das Versprechen nicht. Von der einstigen Schönheit dieser Kirche ist drinnen nicht allzuviel geblieben. Innen ist Vieles mächtig renovierungsbedürftig. Das Ganze auf die Verwahrlosung während der DDR zu schieben, scheint mir tatsächlich etwas plump. Die DDR gibt es schon 30 Jahre nicht mehr. Da hätte hier derweil mehr passieren können/ müssen. So kommt es nun, dass man an Tagen wie gestern zwar einem inhaltlich warmherzigen Gottesdienst erlebt und doch wahrscheinlich am ehesten das permanente Frieren in der Erinnerung verhaften bleibt. Wirklich schade um dieses ehrwürdige Haus.

Great piece of the DDR and German history that was an important place during centre of the civil rights movement 80’. Not that well maintained, but currently under renovation. Definitely worth seeing!

The church is in the culture: open, visit, pray and donate, wir bauen Kultur aus. Here also is a living institution of freedom of worship, association and sacrifice in the old Republic
