Theodor Fliedner Home
The Theodor-Fliedner-Heim , built between 1936 and 1937, was designed by Otto Risse in the style of homeland security architecture. It is located at Schrobsdorffstraße 35/36 in the Berlin district of Mahlsdorf in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district . The listed building is one of three churches of the Protestant parish of Mahlsdorf.
history
The village church in the center of the village was a long way from the Mahlsdorf-Süd residential area, which had grown significantly in the 1920s and 1930s. In order to enable the local residents to participate in church life, it was decided to set up a small community center on site. The association of evangelical churches in Berlin as a builder commissioned Otto cracks from which already came several Protestant community homes in Berlin, with the design. In contrast to the church, which was often only open on Sundays, the community center should also be used in everyday life. The community center was later named after Theodor Fliedner , the founder of the first deaconess house . The building, damaged in World War II , was restored and rebuilt in the 1950s.
Building description
The community center deviates from the traditional image of a church. It consists of a building complex , the two low wings of which , a hall church and a residential building , are arranged at right angles to each other. In the inner corner, where the two wings of the building meet, there is an open two-story bell tower on a square floor plan . With the low eaves height and the pitched roofs , the community center adapts to the urban development. In order to save construction costs, the outer walls of the masonry building were not plastered. The outer corners of the building are made of field stones. The church hall has large arched windows . The entrance is in the open plan two sides of the first floor of the bell tower. The floor with the bell cage is open on all sides with an ogival arch . The tower with an octagonal drawn-crowned spire . The church interior, designed for 200 people, has a flat arched barrel roof . The sacristy with two rooms is to the left and right of the altar area . The altar , the lectern and baptismal font has also designed Otto cracks. The organ stands on the gallery of the church hall .

The first organ was dismantled in 2012. The new, based on Italian organs, with two manuals , a pedal and 17 registers comes from the workshop of Wilhelm Rühle . It is arranged as follows :

Bells
From 1937 to 1942, two bronze bells hung in the tower. However, like other bells, these had to be handed in for the Second World War and were melted down. In 1951, two new chilled iron bells were cast in the bell foundry in Apolda and still ring today for Sunday services.
