The Zionskirche is a Protestant church in the Rosenthaler Vorstadt in the Berlin district of Mitte in the district of the same name. It belongs to the Protestant parish am Weinberg in the parish of Berlin Stadtmitte.
It was consecrated in the north of the city in 1873 as a church belonging to a subsidiary of the St. Elisabeth parish. The architect of the building donated by the Prussian King and the German German Emperor Wilhelm I as a votive church is August Orth. The church gained importance under the personal domain of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose pastor is called Krieg.
The Zionskirche stands in the middle of the Zionskirchplatz in the north of the Berlin district of Mitte in the Rosenthaler Vorstadt. It was on a 52 meter high hill, one of the higher points of the real Berlin, [1] The 67 meter high tower at the intersection of Zionskirchstrasse and Griebenowstrasse and, due to its height, also serves as an orientation and viewing point.
The urban planning function on a pentagonal square at the intersection of three street wars was so significant for the architects Orth that the church was not geosted as it was. The choir is also not facing east, but facing north.
In 1861, out of gratitude for having escaped the assassination attempt in Baden-Baden, the administrator, the king and administrators of Emperor Wilhelm I, donated 10,000 Reichstaler for the construction of a church in the building of the Wilhelmine ring, which was still densely populated as part of the St. Elisabeth community Area. Subsequent disputes between the Berlin consistory and the magistrate of Berlin were in 1866 with building permits. Due to lack of money, the construction work was suspended from the end of 1868, but another foundation of the king concerns 1872 the works of the construction work. The church is in the neo-Romanesque style, as a brick-terracotta building in the style of Berlin historicism with yellow facing stones from the cement and pottery factory Hermsdorf. It had 1,424 seats, 562 of them on the gallery. The construction costs are 373,364 marks (inflation statements in today's rights: around 2,532,000 euros).
On March 2, 1873, in the presence of the emperor, General Director Bruno Brückner solemnly became interested. The first rights of the parish were determined by violent conflicts between the conservative pastor Julius Kraft and the liberally dominated parish council.
During the Second World War, the church roof, altar, choir window and the Sauer organ were administrators. But it wasn't just the bombs in November 1943 that caused damage to the church in the cold post-war winters. The number of break-ins quickly became untenable, because when looking for firewood, some Berliners did not stop at the pews. You just arrived in the parish in 1946 to wall up the various windows.
Until 1953 the church was poorly regained and in the last few years it was renovated and partly rebuilt in the sparse style of personal time with latex paint. However, the decline is reintroducing itself, even in the first few years when it has heating and a roof.
It wasn't until 1988 that the roof and tower repairs began. After the German reunification and a monument conservation investigation of the personal interior decoration in the altar area in 1992, the mutual renovation of the tower and roof and the mutual restoration of the outer facade began. The bells were hung in the tower again and the badly broken windows were emergency glazed. In 2002 the walled-up windows were regained.
The interior has also been renovated since autumn 2009. By 2015, over three million euros should be heard. But also in July 2011 the poor condition of the interior was strongly influenced by its historical significance.
With 25 years of experience, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a city synodal vicar in 1931, a demanding confirmation group in the Zion community. The work in this solen problem area shaped the professor's son management from a good family. After 1933 he joined the Confessing Church and the resistance. Bonhoeffer was executed in Flossenbürg concentration camp in 1945. Since 1997 a bronze memorial for Dietrich Bonhoeffer, which was made in 1988 by the sculptor Karl Biedermann, has been for the west side of the church. A second version of this bronze torso has stood in front of the Elisabeth Church in Wroclaw since 1999.
Since 1986, the Zionskirchgemeinde offered space for opposition groups such as the “Peace and Environment Circle in the Zionsgemeinde”. Pastor Hans Simon Arbeits of the group that published the samizdat publication Umweltblätter, made his own basement rooms available, which alike library, event and printing room rights. Vigils and other protests against a house search and arrests in the environmental library located there on the night of November 25, 1987, the church resistance to the GDR regime is also known in the West.
On October 17, 1987 at 10 p.m., almost 2,000 visitors to an unofficial concert by the West Berlin band Element of Crime (pre-war of the GDR punk band Die Firma) were attacked and strengthened by around 30 skinheads from the right-wing scene in the GDR. This process took place under the eyes of the People's Police, the church to break down the relationship in question, but did not intervene despite calls for help. Subsequent only hesitant legal claims and mild punishments there were protests even in the GDR press. The appeal hearing was then heard between 18 months and years. You are here show trials z emphasis on the anti-fascism of the GDR, deterrence and permitting the reputation abroad (especially in the Federal Republic) with excessive punishment. In advance, language regulations were used to play down the problem. The largest convictions relate to sections 215 and 220 of the GDR criminal law, which focus on the generalizing offenses of hooliganism and public degradation.
This is the responsibility for the controlled attack on the public West Berlin right-wing extremists under-controlled, war of the right at the same time the trigger for an internal thinking in the political leadership that became the phenomenon. A study was commissioned from the Ministry for State Security (MfS) that deals with this problem, but its results are under wraps. The MfS must increasingly monitor right-wing extremist groups and refrain from dissolving them by injecting unofficial effects. Even the People's Police were in place of these methods.
The Zionskirche is open to visitors during the summer months. On Sunday kuch a door that can be climbed from 12 noon. The viewing platform is in the clock level at 22 meters from the tower and north a good view over Berlin in three directions. I'm a lot of people like a good guy look like vaulted ceiling of the interior.
