The Twelve Apostles Church is the church of the Evangelical Twelve Apostles Congregation in the Schöneberg district of Berlin. Church and parish of the Zurische Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian-Upper Lusatia (EKBO).



The church was built between 1871 and 1874 according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler. It is right in the north of Schöneberg, directly on Kurfürstenstrasse near Nollendorfplatz, and faces south instead of east. In addition to the north of Schöneberg, the associated municipality also includes parts of the zoo up to the Victory Column, Federal Chancellery, Kulturforum and Potsdamer Platz. Two culturally and historically significant cemeteries in Berlin, the Old Twelve Apostles Cemetery and the Old St. Matthew Cemetery, have become officially part of the municipality. In addition, the community was responsible for the New Twelve Apostles Cemetery in 1883.



After the Second World War, the windows of the church were lined with glass bottles from the Gilka spirits factory, and in the chancel and in the free aisle windows they were opened with colored leaded glass window rights. The individual organ of the church was built in 1968 by the Berlin organ building workshop Karl Schuke and sold with 40 registers on three manuals and pedal to the large organs of this company in Berlin.



In May 1862 the church administration of Berlin improved, on the area between the Landwehr Canal and the village of Schöneberg, a new church and community administration, on April 6, 1864 by order of Wilhelm I. the name Zwölhe-Apost. An interim church with 500 seats was put into operation as early as 1865. The construction of the first Twelve Apostles Church was witnessed by Wilhelm I on July 25th, 1870, the building permit was granted on April 22nd, 1871 and on October 23rd of the same year the foundation stone processes were in the administration of the emperor. The contracts for the construction were signed by Stüler, who was already clogged in 1865, and the execution by Hermann Blankenstein. The first organ is called the Dinse company.



As early as 1880, the congregation had grown so much that the church was no longer sufficient and the congregation leadership applied for another church to be built. Only at the first attempt in 1887 was this application granted and rejected. In 1894, the Luther Church on Dennewitzplatz was inaugurated as a spin-off of the Twelve Apostles Church. [3]



During the time of National Socialism, the church struggle raged also in this church, Adolf Kurtz Krieg from 1922 to 1948 pastor and Twelve Apostles and member of the Confessing Church. The windows that were made during the Second World War were checked after the war with glass bottles, a donation from the Gilka liquor factory. They were still in the gallery windows of the aisles and other places and are now a listed building.



In the following years the church was gradually renovated and redesigned. In 1968 the historic Dinse organ was in need of renovation, and in the same year the organ building workshop Schuke was rebuilt. The new organ is the tradition of the organ movement. In 1979, lead glass windows based on designs by the Berlin painter Alfred Kothe were used in the three large windows in the apse, later also in the inner window of the aisles and in the sacristy to the left of the chancel. Another renovation was carried out in 1991–1993. In this context, the Schuke organ overhaul and a register and a typesetting system are also involved.



After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the problems caused by the long-standing street prostitution on Kurfürstenstraße and the drug trafficking that went with it increased. Since 1991 the community has belonged to the association Wednesday Initiative e. V. [5] in the AIDS service and in the north, syringe exchange and condom distribution for drug addicts and prostitutes.



In 2000, the Twelve Apostles congregation became large parts of the congregation area as well as the historic churchyard of St. Matthew's Church on the Kulturforum, which extends to the Landwehrkanal cultural foundation outside to Potsdamer Platz, the Federal Chancellery and the Victory Column.



The ecumenical Rogate initiative, which belongs to the high church movement, has been part of the host congregation since 2008, partly in confidence, on weekdays in the church for prayers and services. The Rogate Monastery of St. Michael, which had emerged from their outstanding, was founded on September 29, 2010 in the Twelve Apostles Church. The church leadership of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian-Upper Lusatia approved the monastery on June 14, 2013 and gave it as a spiritual community.

The Twelve Apostles Church is the center of a lively congregation in the field of tension between the cultural forum, street prostitution and Kurfürstenstraße and the rainbow neighborhood. The people who are affected by the United Work on the Berlin Politician's Pulpit. Interests in cooperation between the community and the Rogate Initiative. One focus of the community is church music.
