Good to know

  • Step inside the new church for a few quiet minutes in the blue light, right off the bustle of Breitscheidplatz.
  • The Memorial Hall exhibition in the old tower is closed for renovation from 29 August 2026, but guided tours of the church ensemble continue.
  • Kurfürstendamm starts right here, so pair the visit with a walk along the Ku'damm.
