Matthias Claudius Church (Berlin)
The Protestant Matthias Claudius Church at Schulzendorfer Straße 19-21 in the Berlin district of Heiligensee in the Reinickendorf district was built according to a design by Jürgen Bachmann and was inaugurated on October 2, 1938.
history
The improvement of the infrastructure between Heiligensee and Tegel through the tram and between Heiligensee and Berlin through the Schulzendorf and Heiligensee stations led to many new buildings , especially between the stations and the Angerdorf Heiligensee. The number of newcomers made a new assembly building necessary in addition to the Heiligensee village church . A community center was built on Schulzendorfer Strasse . The congregation that formed there broke away from the village church on April 1, 1957 and has been independent since then.
Building description
The simple hall church is a masonry structure that is plastered over the base .
Church building
The nave is covered with a gable roof. The portal is at the front . The top of the gable above is clad with boards , and a cross is emblazoned on it.
