history
On July 1, 1971, the congregation was separated from the Apostle Petrus congregation, which has its congregation center on Wilhelmsruher Damm. The consistory did not agree to the intention of calling itself the Philippus Congregation , as there were already several of the same names in Berlin. The community center at Seggeluch Basin was built in 1969–1972 and the church was consecrated on February 13, 1972.
Building description
The building complex consists of reinforced concrete - Frameworks for the church and community spaces, also of masonry structures for the presbytery and a daycare center .
A building with a polygonal floor plan , linked to a tent roof is an essential feature of modern sacral architecture. The curved church roof, clad in wood on the inside and covered with copper on the outside, spans an asymmetrical polygonal space that is divided horizontally and vertically into different areas. The center is a hexagonal room surrounded by an area raised by four steps. The church room is connected to the adjoining parish hall by a folding door . This means that the 250 places can be supplemented by 200 more. Two multiply folded gables rising in opposite directions face both the street and the rear of the property. High windows between the pillars of the concrete skeleton reveal the inside of the church. Below the eaves there are upper cladding through which daylight can enter.
A low campanile is assigned to the main building with church and parish hall , which leans against the outside staircase leading to the gallery . In it hangs a bronze bell cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock in 1972 , which sounds on the strike note g '. It weighs 670 kg, has a diameter of 130 cm and a height of 110 cm plus a crown of 22 cm.
The chancel is equipped with a large crucifix , which was designed by Ernst Gustav Jäger in 1947 for the former church in the Bethanienkrankenhaus . Inside there are colored non-objective murals by Manfred Henkel.
In 1990 the church received an organ with around 1000 pipes and 15 registers from the Berlin organ building workshop Karl Schuke with two manuals and a pedal . The disposition can be viewed here → .
