.JPG)
The Andreaskirche is a church of the Evangelical Church Community Berlin-Wannsee; it is located at Lindenstrasse 2 in the Berlin district of Wannsee in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district . It was developed by Otto Stahnsdorfer in the architectural style of the Gothic Revival designed and on August 15, 1896 inaugurated ; the church is a listed building . It has been named after the apostle Andreas since 1965 , before that it was called the New Church.
history
The Protestant parish of Wannsee essentially comprises the former village of Stolpe and the former villa colony of Alsen , both of which were combined in 1898 to form the rural community of Wannsee. It has two churches, the church on Stölpchensee and the Andreaskirche.
Wilhelm Conrad donated a church for the Alsen villa colony he founded in 1889. The first draft for the New Church - the old, today's church on Stölpchensee, was too far away for the believers - was provided by Johannes Otzen , a friend of Conrad's , who had planned a much larger church than the present one. From this plan, only the church vestibule in the central axis to the gate of the cemetery , which also came from Otzen, was realized around 1895 .

Stahn was commissioned to continue the construction in 1896, but he delivered a new design according to which the church was facing north-south. Otzen's vestibule is now in front of the east side. In 1901 Wannsee became its own parish, until then Wannsee had formed a parish together with Klein-Glienicke, including the villa colony of Neubabelsberg . The church suffered minor damage during the Second World War , which was removed in 1953.

Furnishing
The interior has largely been freed from its original design since the renovations in the 1960s. Some items of equipment have been preserved from the construction period. An oil painting from the end of the 16th century hangs on the east wall . It comes from the circle of the Tintoretto family of painters and represents Jesus and the Kanana woman . In the vestibule there is a bust of Conrad, created in 1895 by Karl Pracht .
A mechanical organ from Christensen & Sønner with 1540 pipes in 22 registers has stood on the gallery above the main entrance since 1980 . Your disposition can be viewed at Orgel Databank . It replaced its pneumatic predecessor from 1903.
The nave has the original church stalls on both sides of a central aisle. There are more pews in the side arms of the transept. In front of the three steps of the dais , on which the altar stands , is an open space. A choir , orchestra or concert grand can be placed here.
Above the left transept is a gallery that can only be reached from the outside.
