Here’s what the Wikipedia article has to say about it:
“The Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächtniskirche (English: Emperor Frederick Memorial Church) is a German Protestant church owned and used by a congregation within the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. The church building is situated in Händelallee in Hansaviertel (a locality of Berlin's Mitte borough) near Großer Tiergarten. Designed by architect Ludwig Lemmer, it was built in 1957, replacing a former nineteenth-century building designed by Johannes Vollmer which was destroyed during World War II.” Source
We’re approaching the church building through the Tiergarten with it’s gorgeous trees from the east.
Standing on the north side right in front of the main building we can enjoy the clean and mathematical straightness of the gridlines of the facade as well as the geometrical grid of the flooring in front of the building. Yes, there’s only one very small circular mosaic window on the whole facade of the church and it has a pretty unusual symmetry of 5. We’ll have a closer look at this in the second part.
When i passed by there again on another day, i had the opportunity to take a photo with an extra line in addition to the many that were already there.
Now we’re looking straight at the main entrance with pattern carvings on the left and right and some kind of a dragon slayer scene on the door in the center on which we'll take a closer look in the second part.
In this photo we see the main building in a more perspective angle and therefore we can glimpse a little at the western wall of the building. It’s a not very curvy block.
Here we're standing in front of the western wall with it’s four circular mosaic windows. Together with the one on the front that has about the same size amounts to five of them in total.
And now let’s have a closer look
at the open bell tower
with it’s great spiral staircase.
That’s it for now dear monochrome lover.
May good light be with you on your photographic journeys.
