history
In the early years of the Johannische Kirche in Berlin and the surrounding area, almost 40 parishes have sprung up since 1923. In 1988 the Johannische Kirche in Berlin-Kaulsdorf was able to acquire a farm . On the land were a residential building and several outbuildings . The former farmstead was to be converted into an East Berlin community center , similar to the Michaels home in West Berlin . However, the fall of the wall and reunification brought about a change in these plans, so that a church center was to be built for the East Berlin communities on a much smaller scale than previously planned. The groundbreaking ceremony for this was in the spring of 1990. The community was created in 1993 by merging the two former East Berlin communities Prenzlauer Berg and Lichtenberg. For the first time in their history, the two communities were given their own community center and thus their own rooms for church services and community life. Previously, the predecessor communities were always guests in schools, restaurants or cinemas or had expanded and used rented rooms.
Building description
The simple prayer room is located in a newly built extension . The first service took place on November 3, 1991. In it stands next to the altar a large bust of the church founder Joseph Weißenberg , whose granddaughter now runs the church. The house belonging to the farm was renovated and apartments were built in the attic that could no longer be used after the war. By expanding the cellar in the old house, a small farmhouse parlor, a kitchen and sanitary facilities were created.
