Guided Story
Imagine the first light of day gently kissing the smooth, white facade of the church, casting soft reflections. Look up at the tall windows, flooding the interior with natural light. In the quiet of the nave, you can almost hear the footsteps of those who walked here over 200 years ago. This church was once the heart of the village of Schönefeld. Picture the lively conversations that took place on the forecourt, as the church bells rang in the Sunday service. Turn around and you might catch a glimpse of the Mariannenpark in the distance, another piece of history tied to this area.
