Sight 1: Zum Guten Hirten

Show sight on map

The Protestant Church of the Good Shepherd in the Berlin district of Friedenau was built as a nave church with narrow, aisle-like side aisles and a slender, 70-metre-high tower in neo-Gothic style according to a design by Karl Döflein. The slate-roofed masonry building, clad with dark red bricks, was built in an exposed urban location on Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz. On the birthday of Empress Auguste Victoria, the foundation stone was laid in her presence, and she was also present at the inauguration. During the Second World War, the church suffered damage during Allied air raids, including to the windows, the roof was largely destroyed, and all wall paintings were destroyed by weather damage. After the war, the interior was simply restored, but in later renovations it was brought closer to the original again. The church is a listed building.
