description

The Apostle-Peter- Congregation was separated from the village church Wittenau in 1963 . The building complex was built in several construction phases from 1961 to 1963 as the first church institution in the Märkisches Viertel, even before the construction of the residential high-rise buildings began. It is divided into two building wings arranged at right angles to each other . In the depths of the property stands the church hall, a reinforced concrete skeleton structure covered with a windowless shed roof, with the entrance hall in front of it. The flat-roofed wing of the building with the community hall, group rooms and apartments is two-story. A church without a bell tower is not easy to spot. However, the interior has a church character with a multi-part, large-area stained glass window and a large wooden cross on the front wall.
