Maria, Hilfe der Christen

You're standing before a remarkable example of Romanesque Revival architecture, designed by Christoph Hehl and completed in 1910. This Catholic church, known as Maria, Hilfe der Christen, is named after a medieval invocation of Mary found in the Litany of Loreto. Notice the grand arches and solid stone walls that have housed the parish church of the Holy Family Parish – Spandau-Havelland for over a century. The building has been a protected architectural heritage monument since the 1980s. If you look north, you might catch a glimpse of the Pigeon Post Monument in the distance. Here, religious tradition meets architectural heritage, firmly rooted in the Berlin district of Spandau.
