The Kirchgasse is a street in the Berlin district of Neukoelln the district of the same . It leads past one of the churches (prayer hall of the Moravian Brethren ) of the formerly three Bohemian parishes in Bohemian-Rixdorf and was called Mala ulicka ('Enge Gasse') until 1909 .

The 'Enge Gasse' was laid out just a few years after the founding of Böhmisch-Rixdorf. In addition to a few houses and the prayer room of the Brethren, built in 1761 and destroyed in World War II, a Moravian school was also built there.

Kirchgasse runs between Richardstrasse and Berthelsdorfer Strasse . It is interrupted at the level of Jan-Hus-Weg , which belonged to Kirchgasse until 1983, and so both ends form dead ends .

In Kirchgasse there is a monument by the sculptor Alfred Reichel (1856–1928), which shows Friedrich Wilhelm I , who welcomed the Bohemian exiles , descendants of the Bohemian brothers , to Prussia from 1732 . Kirchgasse is also home to a large number of architectural monuments . The prayer room of the Evangelical Brethren , built in 1962, is one of these .
