The church belongs to the Dean's Office Berlin-Reinickendorf in the Archdiocese of Berlin and is a listed building .
history
The first Catholics are likely to have come to Tegel in 1835 after the factory owner Franz Anton Egells opened a production facility there. Also August Borsig , who, having worked for Egells 1827-1837, had his own business, moved in 1896 his works from Wedding to Tegel, which was there to attract other Catholic Worker result. Tegel's rural past came to an end when a horse-drawn bus line to Tegel was set up in 1881 and the Tegel station of the Kremmener Bahn opened in 1893 .
In Tegel there was no Catholic church yet, but the holy mass sacrifice was held in an unused room of a school building, for the first time on July 4, 1894 by a Dominican Father of St. Paulus from Moabit. The room in the school was terminated due to personal needs, so that from April 16, 1899, the service was held in the dance hall of a restaurant for six years. At first the mass was only celebrated once a month, later on the 1st and 3rd Sunday. On Sundays when there was no service, anyone who wanted to went about eight kilometers to Reinickendorf at Residenzstrasse 90/91 to the chapel of the monastery founded by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in 1887. Today the Good Shepherd Children's and Youth House of Caritas Family and Youth Welfare, founded in 1976, is located there .
A Catholic association was founded in Tegel . After collecting 1,000 marks , he turned to Cardinal Georg von Kopp , Bishop of the Diocese of Breslau , to which Tegel belonged at the time, with a request for money for the church. 9,000 marks were approved so that in 1902 a 2367 m² plot of land could be acquired not far from the historic town center, 32,000 marks were registered as a mortgage.
The foundation stone for the church was laid on August 14, 1904 by Archpriest Kuborn from Lichtenberg; the keynote address was held by Kaplan Bernhard Lichtenberg . The solemn benediction of the church took place on May 7, 1905 by Archpriest Frank Berlin. In 1913 the rectory was also built.
Tegel belonged to the parish of Reinickendorf until 1901. Then Velten was separated from Reinickendorf, and now Tegel belonged to Velten. In 1906 the congregation, which then had around 2000 members, got its first permanent clergyman. Prince-Bishop Adolf Bertram von Breslau established the Tegel Curate on March 1, 1909 . On June 1, 1920 Tegel became an independent parish .
Due to the growing population, St. Joseph in Tegel-Nord was spun off in 1933, St. Marien in Heiligensee in 1937, All Saints in Borsigwalde in 1938 and St. Bernhard in Tegel-Süd in 1952. On July 1, 2004 the parishes of St. Joseph and St .Mary affiliated again. Allerheiligen and St. Bernhard merged at about the same time to form the parish of St. Bernhard. Konradshöhe and Tegelort on the other side of the Tegeler See belong to the Heart of Jesus.
The church was founded on June 16, 1936 consecrated . The church was only slightly damaged during World War II .
architecture
_Apsis.jpg)
The three-aisled pillar basilica has no transept . Next to the gable of the central nave , in front of the right aisle, is the square bell tower , in front of the left a stair tower , the roof of which does not protrude over the gable of the central nave. Behind the right aisle is a chapel, behind the left the sacristy .
Nave
The rectangular porch has a pointed arched portal , above it a crab-studded eyelash with brightly plastered panels . The Sacred Heart statue above the portal was erected in 2000. The high decorative gable of the central nave is structured by eight narrow buttresses , between which there are plaster panels and simple tracery panels on the outside . The side walls of the central nave and the side aisles also have buttresses. The nave has a with gray roof tiles roofed gable roof .
The three bays of the church interior have a ribbed vault . The cross-rib vaulted yokes of the side aisles open to the central nave, giving the impression of chapels.
In 2004 the interior of the church was renovated and the entire interior was painted white. In the apse , above the sacristy, two walled-up windows were exposed again. On January 23, 2011, the nativity scene and its figures were destroyed by fire. As a result of the heavy smoke and the damage caused by the fire extinguishing water, the church was unusable. After the renovation, which cost around 170,000 euros, the church was reopened on August 13, 2011.
tower
Buttresses are attached to the outer corners of the tower up to the eaves height of the nave. On three sides above a cornice there are two pointed arched window windows lying next to each other, under each of which there are two small pointed arched blinds. About a further ledge and the ring gear of an ogival dwarf gallery rises the octagonal bell chamber with ogival openings about Wimperge , the crab occupied are on the top of a finial wear and each have three ogival pop-up window. The pointed tent roof is covered with copper. A stair tower hugs the corner between the porch and the bell tower.
Bells
In 1904/05 and 1928 the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen cast bronze bells for the Sacred Heart Church. Of the three bells from 1904/05, two of these bells were melted down during the First World War. Only the little a-bell survived both world wars. On December 20, 1928, two new OTTO bells were rung, but in 1941 they had to be handed in for war purposes and were melted down. Today only a bronze bell from Otto hangs in the tower. It has a weight of 471 kg, a diameter of 92 cm and a height of 80 cm. Your strike tone is a. In the shoulder there is a palmette frieze , including four bridges.
Furnishing
_Marienkapelle.jpg)
In 1936 the church received a limestone altar and was consecrated. The chancel was redesigned at the beginning of the 1970s after the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council . An ambo was made from the old high altar . A large bronze cross was designed as a frame for the tabernacle . On the right in the chancel is the priest's seat , on the left the ambo. An old, forgotten statue of the Sacred Heart was placed on a console on the left wall of the altar. These, like the other characters, survived the war. On the back wall of the left aisle, behind a wooden panel that is opened on Good Friday , is the Holy Sepulcher with a figure of Christ. The Way of the Cross # Fourteen stations of the Way of the Cross are located half on the outer walls of the left and right aisles.
The baptismal font made of fired clay was placed in the choir again in 1958.
New windows were created for the apse , designed by Ludwig Peter Kowalski and produced by the Puhl & Wagner company . These show the crucifixion group and the two great devotees of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of the 17th century, Saints Margareta Maria Alacoque and Johannes Eudes .
Lady Chapel
_Orgelempore.jpg)
At the end of the right aisle there is the Marienkapelle on a 5/8 floor plan, which has its own surrounding walls with a tent roof. In 2000 the renovation of the Lady Chapel began. Three windows were uncovered and, in 2002, were given leaded glass windows designed by Paul Corazolla .
memorial
On August 28, 2002, the newly designed chapel was inaugurated in the tower hall in front of the right aisle. Two large memorial plaques, which commemorated the victims of the First World War and were stored in the basement, were attached to the back wall and underneath were supplemented by two plaques, the left one for the fallen of the Second World War and all victims of hatred and terror, the right one for the martyrs of the 20th century, Dietrich Bonhoeffer , Edith Stein , Bernhard Lichtenberg , Franz Jägerstätter , Roman Karl Scholz and Alfred Delp . The Pietà was given a new place on the side wall. Based on their representation, the new memorial is called the Chapel of the Sorrowful Mother .
organ
In 1908 the church received its first organ with two manuals and 20 stops , built by Schlag & Söhne . The neo-Gothic prospect on the gallery was essentially preserved and still surrounds the current organ, which was built in 1929 using the old organ pipes from GF Steinmeyer & Co. due to technical defects . The result was a romantic organ with 23 sounding stops:

Pairing :
- Normal coupling: II / I, I / P, II / P
- Super octave coupling: II (expanded)
- Sub-octave coupling: II
- Playing aids : crescendo pedal, swell step II, piano pedal to II
In Swell and Pedal later additions have been made. From 1965 the organ was rebuilt regardless of historical aspects. All pipes were re-voiced to a neo-baroque sound.
In 1998 Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden was entrusted with the maintenance of the organ . The overall condition of the organ, however, remained unsatisfactory from a technical and aural point of view, because the interior of the organ had been heavily soiled from renovation work on the church. Because of the financial situation of the Archdiocese of Berlin, no money could be made available for the reconstruction of the organ.
Due to the fire on January 23, 2011, the organ had become unusable due to soot. For repairs, each of the 1746 pipes of the organ had to be removed, brought to the organ building company founded by Friedrich Fleiter , where they were specially cleaned and reinstalled. Afterwards, the organ had to be re-voiced, despite the pre-intonation by the organ company. The work cost around 70,000 euros.
