Guided Story

Take a moment to admire the pointed arch portals and intricate tracery windows on the facade. These are hallmarks of the Gothic Revival style that defines the Eliaskirche's architecture. Inaugurated in 1910, the church rises 22 meters above the street, standing as a significant heritage monument in Berlin. Originally designed as a basilica without a transept by architects Gustav Werner and Fritz Förster, the building captures the transition to modernity. Now, it houses the MACHmit! Children's Museum, just a few steps to the southwest. This blend of historical architecture and contemporary use makes the Eliaskirche a unique spot in the Helmholtzkiez neighborhood.
