Immanuel Chapel

The Immanuel Chapel in Berlin is a church building in the Weißensee district at Friesickestraße 15 .

It is the church of the Baptist Congregation in Berlin-Weißensee, which belongs to the Federation of Evangelical Free Churches in Germany.

history

In 1881 children from the street gathered in the bakery of the church founder August Lehmpfuhl to learn to read and write using biblical stories in Sunday school - today's children's worship service. The Baptists later moved into quarters in a slaughterhouse in Weißensee. It was not until 1910 that a house of worship based on a design by Carl Moritz could be inaugurated in Friesickestrasse.
