The Protestant , listed Taborkirche is on Schönblicker Strasse in the Berlin district of Rahnsdorf in the Treptow-Köpenick district . It was built to a design by the architect Peter Jürgensen and Jürgen Bachmann in the style of Homeland Security Architecture with echoes of the nascent modernism and was on April 9, 1911 inaugurated .
history
The first building northeast of Rahnsdorf was mentioned in a document as early as 1734. The line of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) was opened in 1842, for the suburban traffic from Berlin the station Neu-Rahnsdorf was inaugurated on November 15, 1882. In 1891, the Deutsche-Volksbau-Aktiengesellschaft created the Neu-Rahnsdorf villa colony, the core of which developed around the train station. Since 1902 the colony was allowed to call itself Wilhelmshagen. When the church was built in an open field between 1910 and 1911, much was still unfinished, but there were already 80 villas in the locality , in which around 600 people lived. Today it stands on a round square in the visual axes of the radially converging streets. The former parish Wilhelmshagen now belongs to the parish Rahnsdorf / Wilhelmshagen / Hessenwinkel.
The church is a cultural monument of the State of Berlin, the surrounding park is a garden monument.
Building description
In their design, the architects fused historicist neoclassicism with modern art nouveau . The hall church is a masonry structure that is sand-colored on the outside. The corners of the walls are made as pilaster strips using ashlar plaster . The nave has three bays and is covered by a wide saddle roof. The central nave is spanned inside by a barrel vault on which a coffered ceiling is painted. The aisles are reduced to narrow aisles behind a row of pillars and have flat ceilings . The slightly recessed, rectangular choir in the southwest is flanked symmetrically by low, chapel-like additions , which, like the choir , are covered with half- hips. In the north-east of the nave there is a mighty, rectangular bell tower in front of it. Above the bell storey it has a tapered attachment in which the tower clock is located. Above it rises a slate-covered pointed helmet with dormer windows. The portal in the tower has a blown-gable , it shows the lintel three putt from terracotta with the symbols of the Christian virtues . A gallery and a niche for the organ are located above the anteroom .
Albert Klingner's art nouveau furnishings from 1911 have been preserved. His altarpiece depicts the transfiguration of the Lord . The original stained glass shows depictions of the four evangelists , the twelve apostles and other subjects from the Old Testament .
