Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle sound of the bells ringing? Look up to see the free-standing bell tower, gracefully connected to the church by a covered pergola. This church was built in the post-war era, a time when Berlin was finding its new identity. Imagine people in the 1950s, seeking solace and hope here as the city was transforming. Let your eyes wander over the façade, notice the clean lines and understated elegance designed by Peter Lehrecke and his father. Behind you, a little further away, lies Heinrich-Laehr-Park, another peaceful spot in this vibrant area. Kirche Zur Heimat isn't just an architectural gem; it's a silent witness to Berlin's tumultuous history.
