history
Prehistory and construction of a church
Friedrichshagen, a suburb of Berlin in the 19th century , had residents of various denominations . The Catholics came together under the pastor Christoph Karst from Cöpenick . From November 1894 he gave (Catholic) religious instruction in the elementary schools in Friedrichshagen. In 1898 they founded the Friedrichshagen Catholic Workers' Association , whose flag was consecrated in 1901. On January 17, 1904, the first service took place in a rented room of the wire fence factory on Seestrasse . At the same time, the community acquired a building plot from the owner Lerche on August 1, 1904 at Scharnweberstrasse 9/10, on which a chapel and a house for the clergyman were to be built. The minutes of the meeting of the parish council show that the purchased area was 77 ar 90 square meters (= 7,790 square meters ) and 20,000 marks were raised for it.
The construction contract was March 27, 1906, master mason awarded Thieme from Friedrichshagen, as a construction manager who was architect Paul Franke from Berlin used. The laying of the foundation stone and the first groundbreaking ceremony by the clergy took place on April 18, 1906, and on October 7, 1906 , Archpriest Wilhelm Frank from the St. Pius congregation in Berlin inaugurated the small church.
The first pastor to work here was Johannes Kandler, who had previously worked as a chaplain in Ratibor ( Upper Silesia Province ) . Kandler, however, moved to Prussian-Krawarn on April 24, 1907 ( Krowiarki in Poland since 1945 ), so that Prince-Bishop Georg Cardinal Kopp called the chaplain Carl Schittko from Opole to Friedrichshagen. The first furnishings of the church included a portrait of Mary , a harmonium , a chalice , vestments and a way of the cross , made by the “bureau official” Maximilian Krancher and consecrated on March 8, 1908 by the Franciscan Father Blasius Padberg. All of these items for holding the service were financed with private donations. Another donation from the pastor and member of the state parliament Carl Abramski from Opole in the amount of 100 marks enabled the purchase of a holy grave , which secured the complete ceremony of Holy Week . During the first very successful Holy People's Mission (November 15-22, 1908) the statue was consecrated to a Mother of God . Because a Francis reading circle had also been established, it can be concluded that the new church branch, at that time still assigned to the parish association of Cöpenick, had received the name of St. Francis ; no evidence or date can be found in the chronicle.
In May 1909, Carl Schittko took on another church task, followed by Kuratus Max Fiedler in Friedrichshagen . In 1911 the church in Friedrichshagen and its branches in Erkner , Hirschgarten , Rahnsdorf , Fichtenau , Schöneiche and Klein-Schönebeck were released from the Köpenick parish association. In the same year, the Friedrichshagen community received a generous donation based on a will from the papal bodyguard officer Josef Mascher, who died in the village . Accordingly, 20,000 marks were earmarked for the construction and operation of a retirement home , and 2,000 marks were earmarked directly for the Catholic community. In addition, the donated vestments -Verein Munich one of the community chalice , the parament club Münste donated a supporting heaven and "Woman of Excellence Halley" financed three Levites - vestments . Members of the congregation made two collapsible altars . On August 8, 1913, the property in Scharnweberstrasse became the property of the parish that had previously become a curate. On February 23, 1913, the members elected a first community council. On Ascension Day in 1914, Max Fiedler inaugurated the new church gallery in the chapel, where the church choir now found its place. The community had them made by the local carpenter Manz for 1200 marks.
From 1922 to 1933
The church on Scharnweberstrasse was first shown in the Berlin address book in 1922 after Friedrichshagen had been accepted as part of Köpenick in the city of Greater Berlin .
To renovate the interior of the chapel, the church council bought a used harmonium from the Lichtenberg Dreifaltigkeitskirche during the inflation period in 1923 for 1.2 million marks .Also in 1923, the interior design of the Franziskuskapelle was completed with four frescos : the pictures created by the painter Karl Trill from Friedrichshagen with the support of painter Wilhelm Rüter from Karlshorst showed scenes from the life of St. Francis. In the chronicle it says:
“[They] understood masterfully how to model the life of St. To express Francis in 4 lively pictures on the church walls, so that our church has become a real jewel box. "
Pastor Max Fiedler moved to the Catholic St. Antonius Church in Oberschöneweide in February 1924 by order of Cardinal Bertram . For this, the parish of Friedrichshagen had appointed Melchior Grossek as chaplain , who was also an artist and writer. Grossek remained in this office until 1938. His solemn inauguration on February 17, 1924 was carried out by the “Spiritual Councilor, Archpriest Hermann Josef Szillus ” from Neukölln .
Due to the constant dampness in the church building and in the adjacent rectory, the community had the previous coal heating replaced with central heating in 1927 . The work carried out by the Carl Peschke company from Berlin was largely financed from the assets of the Greater Berlin Association.
In June 1929, the stained glass windows of the Annunciation and the Ascension of Christ were installed in the chancel, which replaced the frescoes. The windows were created based on an idea by Pastor Grossek in the workshop of the young artist Carl Busch . The entire choir room was redesigned and repainted on this occasion. The middle altar window was bricked up and now served as an altar niche with a very plastic-looking painted crucifix . The work could be paid for from reserves and donations from the community.
In the time of National Socialism
A new altar, the Marienaltar with a sculpture of the Madonna from the workshop of the sculptor Adam Winter from Mainz , was consecrated in the chapel on October 1, 1934.
In 1936, the Friedrichshagen community had new cross-way plaques made by the artist Max Mehmann in Osnabrück , which were donated individually by community members. A surplus of money generated for these woodcuts enabled the parish to have four windows in the nave renewed. Church painter Hannes Schulz provided the drafts for this, and the Wichmann company in Berlin carried out the depictions. And finally the entire interior of the church including the Francis paintings was renewed. On April 4, 1937, “the church was ready in its new guise”.
The church was hit twice by fire bombs at the end of World War II . The first drop in 1944 caused no significant damage to the church building, but a fire broke out in the roof beams of the rectory, but it was extinguished. When further incendiary bombs fell on Friedrichshagen on February 26, 1945, both the church and the rectory received full hits. The resulting major fire eventually completely engulfed the buildings, which burned out and turned into ruins . According to the chronicle, “the holy of holies” (vestments and implements from the sacristy ) as well as the cash books, “the documents of the last few years” as well as the Borromeo library and some furniture from the rectory were saved .
The pastor then came to stay with the Rüthning family at Störitzseestrasse 13. The mass sacrifices, baptisms and weddings could also take place there on two days of the week. The Evangelical Church made its chapel available in the cemetery for services.
Post-war period and rebuilding of the church

In May 1945, the pastor received an official apartment in a town house at Bölschestrasse 30, where a church service room could also be provisionally set up. In addition, from 1946 onwards, the chapel of the St. Antonius Hospital , which had been moved from Karlshorst to Friedrichshagen due to the confiscation , was available for services on weekdays and later also on Sundays .
The community also took care of the reconstruction of the chapel. As early as 1946, the diocesan building officer Felix Hinssen submitted building plans that were approved by the episcopal ordinariate. However, the city authorities repeatedly postponed the building permits applied for “for a later time”. When a building report carried out by the Köpenick District Office in 1949 showed a degree of destruction of 50 percent, the municipality was recommended to demolish the ruins completely. The church council protested to the Berlin magistrate and managed to get the small church planned for reconstruction in the following year. And so the city authorities actually gave permission for the reconstruction on September 2, 1950. The company J. Hohn from Oberschöneweide received the contract and on October 8th Prelate Max Fiedler laid the foundation stone for the reconstruction and consecrated it. In the following year progress was slow due to a (unspecified) order by the Berlin magistrate, and completion by Easter 1952 (April 11th to 13th) was planned. Pastor Erhard Golisch was able to move into the rectory again on April 1st, and on April 15th, 1952, Bishop Wilhelm Weskamm consecrated the new church, which is architecturally very different from its predecessor. The corresponding document states:
"This is a document certifying that S. E. of the Most Reverend Bishop of Berlin, Wilhelm Weskamm, April 15, 1952, the newly built church in Berlin-Friedrichshagen, which is dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, solemnly consecrated and the main altar , the relics of St. Gaudentius and St. Prospera has embedded it with his own hand after previous sealing. // signed Cathedral Vicar Theodor Schmitz, Episcopal Secretary. "
The high altar was about six meters long, made of travertine and carried the tabernacle in the middle . So the regular service in the chapel could be resumed. On July 6th of the year a new altar fresco was completed, which showed Francis standing under the cross of the Lord (see photo).
In masonry on the west gallery , a place round colored window into place, which was covered later by the installation of the organ and the suspended wooden ceiling for the most part.
In 1959, the new church received a low-pressure steam heating system, which was replaced by eight external wall gas heaters in 1971, and the building ensemble was connected to the city gas network for the first time. As part of a church renovation that had begun, the gas heaters were replaced with newer ones in 1983. In addition, new floor panels made of sturdy, heat-resistant material ( Tradeko company from Czechoslovakia) were delivered, which were initially quickly laid in a bed of sand because Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Weider had announced his arrival on October 16, 1983. The initial granite steps to the altar were finally redesigned in 1986 with the same slabs.
Between 1977 and around 1980 the upper back wall of the chancel was broken through and a colored glass rosette by Alfons Bittner with motifs from the Canticle of the Sun was inserted. The fresco was thus destroyed, on the other hand a tapestry was attached to the side of the rosette, which came from the hand of a congregation member and showed the church patron Francis of Assisi. Even before these renovations, the parish had the altar shortened to a length of 1.70 meters, the relic was incorporated into a monstrance and was given a place on the left in front of the chancel. The tabernacle was placed in its own wall shrine behind the altar. The ambo , the stand for the tabernacle and the reliquary monstrance as well as the figure of the Virgin Mary (preserved from the first Altar of Mary) were made from the travertine of the altar, the simple baptismal font is also made of this material. To support the craftsmen in the renovation and renovation, the church council called in an independent master painter, bricklayers and carpenters from other districts of the GDR were also used through state aid.
In the late 1980s, interested parties founded a church building association , which has taken care of the maintenance and use of the church and the collection and utilization of donations ever since. The church and rectory were once again extensively renovated at the beginning of the 21st century, except for the roof. Its renewal took place in 2016.
architecture

The church building is a single-nave basic structure without a church tower . It stands on a brick-built base and is around 20 meters long and 10 meters wide.

The structurally somewhat offset west gable forms a small church vestibule. There is a meter-high gold-plated cross on the roof ridge . In the upper part of the west gable a round colored lattice window is inserted, through which daylight falls into the nave. As already mentioned, it is hardly recognizable from the inside through parts of the organ and the wooden ceiling. The artist and subject have not survived. The wooden portal on this side of the street is wide and arched, with two small round windows flanking it. Two steps lead up to the portal.
On the north wall the nave has four pairs of narrow, high round arched windows, on the south side there are two pairs of similar windows. Instead of the two more windows, which were intended according to symmetry, there is the extension of the rectory on the south wall, from which there is access to the organ and the roof of the chapel. At all four corners of the building ensembles are jewelry lanterns attached. The church building, which is closed with a gable roof , is followed by the rectory with two floors and a loft. The entire building complex is provided with light-colored plaster and covered with slate . A simple wrought iron fence surrounds the church property.

In the front garden there is a tall wooden cross, designed by the wood sculptor Georg Tyllack from Berlin-Lichtenberg . It was erected in October 1962 and commemorates the successful popular missions in 1957 and 1962. After it was erected, the base of this cross received an embossed plaque with the inscription : “In the cross is salvation. Mission 1962, 1981 ". This means that another successful mission was organized in 1981 and only then was the plaque added.
Furnishing
.JPG)
In 1924 four frescoes with scenes from the life of St. Francis who were lost with the installation of the altar windows. These windows fell victim to the war destruction in 1944.
In the book Berlin and its Buildings: Sacred Buildings by Ernst Heinrich from 1997 there is an indication that the interior furnishings from 1929, especially the frescoes (see above), were made by Hans (Hannes) Schulz.
In the church building, which was rebuilt after the Second World War, the altar side was completely windowless again, as in the early days of the chapel, but a fresco by the church painter Veit Kraus from Zittau with the praying Francis and a family under Christ crucified adorned the chancel. This picture had to give way to the glass rosette. A simple prayer cross now adorns the wall. In the left corner is the baptism with a metal lid.

The tapestry with a picture of the church patron mentioned in the chronicle has not been available since the 2000s, and its whereabouts are not known in the community.
In 1966, the congregation acquired a crib with Mary, Joseph and the Christ child from the company Wort und Werk in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg for the festive decoration of the church interior at Christmas time .
In the nave there are ten rows of simple wooden pews that can accommodate 160 to 200 visitors.
In 1970 the church council had new electric lights installed in the nave. In addition, the company Adolf from Burg (near Magdeburg) commissioned the manufacture of a measuring chalice and a host bowl. In the meantime, the lights have been renewed again (compare interior views before 1980 with 2015).

Before the destruction there was an organ-like instrument in the St. Francis Church with the harmonium .
An organ from the Jehmlich company has stood on the gallery since 1958 , initially only equipped with a console, Rückpositiv and six registers; in 1971 the main organ was added. Wage, material and installation costs had risen steadily over the years, so that the organ fund had to be topped up through private donations. The organ dedication took vicar Arndt ago in November 1971st
Due to its towerless construction, the chapel has no bells. A few small brass hand bells serve as measuring bells.
There are three colorful motif windows built into the sacristy , which are probably not newer. Whether they have been preserved from the first furnishing cannot be determined either from the chronicle or from the memories of older parishioners.

Community life (selection)
history
The numerous Catholics in Friedrichshagen founded several associations around 1900 such as the Rosary Association , the Childhood Jesus Association , the Borromeo Association and a Francis reading circle . Kuratus Fiedler delivered the first Holy Mass on January 23, 1910 in the Kurhaus restaurant . And in accordance with a decree of the Royal Government, he gave the catechism lessons in the Friedrichshagen elementary schools according to the school plan . The neighborhoods grew (also) very quickly in terms of population and strove to have their own places of worship. So in 1910 a church building collecting association was founded in Erkner , later Rahnsdorf and Wilhelmshagen followed.
At the beginning of 1912 there were 774 souls in the Catholic community in Friedrichshagen, of which 637 were "sedentary" and 137 were not. On April 15, 1912, Cardinal and Prince-Bishop Georg von Kopp elevated the community to an independent curate with its own asset management.
A piece of land given to the parish in Friedrichshagen by the Sanitary Councilor Ulrich in Grünheide near Berlin on June 17, 1913 was partially sold; the proceeds were used to finance the planned church building in Erkner. An emergency church was built there by 1920 , which was consecrated to St. Boniface .
In the years of the First World War , more and more people came to the church to pray for the salvation of their relatives who were called up for military service . Kuratus Fiedler initiated the establishment of a Samaritan group that took over the war welfare (among other things, Christmas parcels were organized "for the members in the field" and the delivery of Catholic newspapers). From this group, the Friedrichshagen Patriotic Women's Branch finally emerged. For the war wounded, military hospitals had been set up in Hirschgarten, Wilhelmshagen and Friedrichshagen , whose pastoral care had been entrusted to Kuratus Fiedler.
On November 3, 1919, the church assembly of the Friedrichshagen Curate awarded the deed of establishment for an independent parish . Max Fiedler thus became the first pastor of this parish and was solemnly invested on July 31, 1922 .
Archpriest Hermann Szillus from Neukölln inaugurated a wooden Catholic clubhouse in the Kirchgarten on Scharnweberstrasse in 1920 . The wooden barracks burned down in 1946. Later efforts to be allowed to build a new parish hall on the property were always rejected by the council of the city district of Köpenick.
The St. Francis Congregation joined the General Association of the Catholic Congregation of Greater Berlin on March 19, 1924 . In the same year the parish council bought the Rolands Casino of the Brothers of the Poor of St. Francis in Schöneiche and had it redesigned as a rest home “for weak and sickly orphaned boys”. The Berlin auxiliary bishop Josef Deitmer named the home the Johannes-Höver-Haus (in honor of Johannes Höver , the founder of the Order of the Brothers of the Poor) at a ceremony . The inauguration took place among "many honeurs of the Catholics from the near and far as well as many other believers". Chaplain Helmut Fahsel was appointed chaplain .
The year of the anniversary of the 700th anniversary of the death of St. Francis (1926) the Catholics in Friedrichshagen celebrated a Triduum Sacrum , at which a holy mass was celebrated and a corresponding secular celebration took place in Schröder's ballroom . The event brought many visitors from all over Berlin to Friedrichshagen. In addition to celebratory speeches, a game from St. Franz and performed by parishioners, one of the highlights.
In 1931, the parish in Friedrichshagen celebrated the 25th anniversary of the consecration of its church building with missionary celebrations, a public ceremony and an appearance by Bishop Christian Schreiber . On this occasion, the teacher Albert Esch from Friedrichshagen was honored, who has worked as an organist and church choir leader on an honorary basis from the start .
The ethnic association Tannenbergbund had tried to prevent or disrupt the Catholic celebrations in the village, which its followers did not succeed. Towards the end of 1931, the Tannenberglers, under the leadership of their Gauleiter Swoboda, came back to Friedrichshagen with strong personal support and now put pastor Grossek and the parishioners under pressure. The fascism cast its shadow.
Between November 1932 and January 1933, film people shot the diaspora film Seelen in Not in and around Schöneiche and Kleinschönebeck on behalf of the Bonifatiusverein Paderborn under the direction of Kurt Skalden . Members of the parish of Friedrichshagen were used in extras here .
After the National Socialists (NS) came to power, parish life deteriorated, the pastor's activities were monitored and the sermons listened to . The political development towards the Nazi surveillance state now also affected other Catholics in the community, so the sexton was arrested for distributing church papers marked as confiscated, the school administration of the Cöpenick district forced teacher Esch to give up his part-time work as an organist, but the episcopal ordinariate gave him the recognition he deserved for this work “for God's wages”. Finally, in 1935, a mini-poster was found on the fence of the parish property: “Here is a Jew , Aryans enter the shop at their own risk”. A planned foundation festival and later the Corpus Christi festival were banned by the police.
By decree of the Holy See , Melchior Grossek was appointed pastor in Berlin-Lichterfelde , where he was appointed to his office on March 20, 1938. Pastor Erhard Golisch made the same order as his successor in Friedrichshagen, he took over the parish with a main service on April 3, 1938.
During the Second World War , many Catholics, including the sexton, were drafted into military service and many died at the front. The chronicle names six community members in 1942.
Between Christmas 1943 and the end of 1944 Friedrichshagen was attacked several times by Allied bombers, with the air pressure from exploding mines severely damaging the roof and windows of the church. Religious instruction was practically non-existent in schools, and pastoral care classes were no longer regular. The chronicle shows that more and more compulsory foreigners (Dutch, Belgians, French and Poles) took part in the service. The parish established an air raid guard for the church and rectory in order to be able to provide quick help in the event of hits. This was necessary when the incendiary bombs were dropped on January 27, 1944 and February 26, 1945. On the last day mentioned, however, a devastating fire could no longer be stopped.
After the Easter celebrations in 1945, the Soviet army entered Friedrichshagen on April 22, 1945 without much resistance. Looting did not spare the pastor's private property either, but the liturgical implements were preserved. After Pastor Golisch had spoken to the Soviet city command , he was assured that he would be able to carry out services again, which began on April 29th. The pastor and pastor were released from work that had been ordered.
As a result of the aftermath of the war, the number of burials quintupled compared to previous years, so that the pastors were also in great demand. The normal life gradually started again, also the resumption of religious education and the resumption of activity belonged in Friedrichshagen different church communities. With the relocation of the St. Antonius Hospital from Karlshorst to Friedrichshagen, the Bellevue garden restaurant was converted into a hospital and a house chapel was set up there. Prelate Carl Ulitzka and Father Josef Riethmeister also took up residence there. On New Year's Eve 1945, Pastor Erhard Golisch held a very well attended thanksgiving service .
One after the other, the branch churches Schöneiche (1947) and Rahnsdorf (1948) were elevated to the status of an independent curate for pastoral care . In 1950 the Catholic parish in Schöneiche became a parish and thus left the Friedrichshagen community association.
In 2003 the St. Franziskus Congregation and the Köpenicker St. Josefskirche merged. The new St. Joseph parish has 3000 members.
deals
The merged St. Josef congregation maintains house groups, a church choir and has been a member of the Kolping Society since 2000 . In addition to numerous activities of her own, she takes care of the refugees who have been housed in a container village in Köpenick since 2014.
Ecumenism and partnership
The St. Franziskus Church has been working closely with the Protestant congregation of the Christophorus Church, the Baptists of the Friedenskapelle , the St. Antonius congregation in Schöneweide and the city mission in Friedrichshagen for years . Among other things, the Protestant Christians were able to use the Franziskus Chapel for their services when the main church on Bölschestrasse had become unusable due to storm damage. There was and still is a common church choir. There are still common prayers, benefit concerts and readings. Fixed parish partnerships are not agreed.

Remarks
- ↑ Note on the name of the builder / architect: on the homepage of St. Josef (Berlin-Köpenick) dekanat-koepenick.de there is a note that Paul Franke worked out the plans (who had already designed the church in Köpenick). The Friedrichshagener Chronik mentions the master builder Francke, Berlin (without first name, but with "ck") on a glued cover sheet . In the Berlin address book of 1907 there is the Reg. Baumeister a. D. Carl Francke Francke, Carl, Reg. Baumeister a. D. In: Berliner Adreßbuch , 1907, part 1, p. 548. in Charlottenburg (at that time still an independent city), but two Paul Franke directly in Berlin. Architects . In: Berliner Adreßbuch , 1907, part 4, p. 9. This is the more realistic variant, especially since Friedrichshagen was part of the Coepenick parish during the construction period.
- ↑ A letter dated December 18, 1938, attached to the chronicle, states that “there are no church records”.
- ↑ Note: The Lichtenberg district initially extended almost to Warschauer Strasse , which is why the Trinity Church was part of it. It was not until 1938 that the area became part of the Friedrichshain administrative district .
- ↑ It was mentioned as an organ in the Chronicle in 1942, when the teacher and organist Albert Esch had died. Here it says: "... and played an active part in the church service until the last Sunday before his death by playing the organ".
