Nikodemuskirche

The Protestant Nikodemuskirche was built in 1912-1913 by Fritz Gottlob. It is a synthesis of neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau elements, which already hint at the beginning of modernism. During an Allied air raid on 26 February 1945, the church burned down completely, but the church hall was spared. Reconstruction began in 1954. The Nikodemuskirche is a cultural church, with many concerts and exhibitions taking place in the premises and the choir.

St. John's Basilica

St. John's Basilica is a church built between 1894 and 1897, the largest Catholic church in Berlin. The architect was the building consultant August Menken. He designed the church as a basilica in the Rhineland Romanesque style. After the Second World War, the church was used for the central services of the diocese of Berlin, because St. Hedwigs Cathedral was still badly damaged. In addition to being a parish church, it served as the cathedral of the German military ordinance.

This mosque in Berlin is noted for its attractive architecture, which is based on Ottoman architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries.

St. Michael

St Michael's Church was built between 1851 and 1859 and is, together with St Edwige's Cathedral (1743-1777), the oldest Catholic church in Berlin. King Frederick William IV of Prussia authorised the construction of a second Catholic church in Berlin as a garrison church for Catholic soldiers, dedicated to St Michael, the patron saint of the army. On 3 February 1945, an Anglo-American air raid completely destroyed the Luisenstadt district and the church burned down. The nave is still without a roof and worship takes place in the transept.
