Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle creaking of the wooden beams above you? That's the soul of this church, crafted at a time when modernity met tradition. Look up at the tall gable roof. This structure is the masterpiece of architect Diez Brandi, who lived right here in Zehlendorf. It was built in the 1930s, a period of great change. Yet, within these walls, there's a sense of peace. Turn around and take a look at the square tower with its flat pyramid roof. It stands like a silent guardian over the community. And if you glance southeast, you'll see the Fischtalpark beginning in the distance, another spot for contemplation.
