Berlin Cathedral of Our Lady

Berlin Cathedral of Our Lady

The Berlin Cathedral of Our Lady is located on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße in the Mitte district of Berlin, adjacent to Alexanderplatz. Its construction began in the late 13th century (around 1270) and was completed in the early 14th century. It was first mentioned in historical records in 1292.

Initially, the Berlin Cathedral of Our Lady was a Catholic church and became a Protestant church in 1539, making it the oldest church in Berlin. The Cathedral of Our Lady serves as the cathedral church of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and jointly oversees all members of the Evangelical Church together with Berlin Cathedral. The oldest parts of the church were built from granite, but most of it is constructed with brick, giving it a bright red hue that was also mimicked by the nearby Red Town Hall. The stained glass windows inside the church are particularly striking, creating a mystical atmosphere. Another notable feature is the historic organ.

The tower of the Berlin Cathedral of Our Lady dates back to the 15th century and is a blend of Baroque and Neo-Gothic architectural styles. It stands majestically atop the church, an impressive sight.
