St. Peter and Paul auf Nikolskoe ( Russian : Никольское / Nikolskoje ) is a Protestant church north of the Glienicker Park in Berlin on the edge of the Stolper Mountains .

history

Front of the church

The name Nikolskoe comes from the Russian word Никольское / Nikolskoje , literally 'that belonging to Nikolai', whereby the neuter noun belonging to it is omitted in Russian for simplicity.

The church building with its onion dome is intended to be reminiscent of Russian Orthodox churches, but is otherwise typically Protestant and does not have the structure of Orthodox church buildings such as the Alexander Nevsky Memorial Church in neighboring Potsdam .

King Friedrich Wilhelm III. At the suggestion of his daughter, Tsarina Alexandra Fjodorovna , wife of Nikolaus I , left it for the residents of Klein Glienicke and the Pfaueninsel far from Klein Glienicke, on a steep bank of the Havel , near the Pfaueninsel and the Nikolskoe blockhouse by the architects Friedrich August Stüler and Albert Dietrich Schadow build. A draft sketch from 1833 shows that Karl Friedrich Schinkel was involved in the planning of the church. He designed parts of the front and added that of the client King Friedrich Wilhelm III. required Russian motifs.

The church was consecrated on August 13, 1837 . The designs were published in the Architectural Album   - also a variant without the Russian onion dome.

The church belongs to the Evangelical Church District Teltow-Zehlendorf in the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia , but has no parish.

Furnishing

In the church is the crypt of Prince Carl of Prussia , in which Prince Friedrich Karl is also buried. Today's carillon was inaugurated on December 1, 1985 during the service on the 1st of Advent and is based on that of the Potsdam Garrison Church .
