Berlin Cathedral

Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) is a famous Protestant church in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is located on the Museum Island in the center of the city, next to the Spree River. This magnificent church is not only the religious center of Berlin, but also an important landmark and tourist attraction of the city. ⛪️The history of Berlin Cathedral dates back to the 15th century, when there was a smaller church on the same site. The existing cathedral was built from 1894 to 1905 under the order of German Emperor Wilhelm II to serve as the court church of the Hohenzollern family. The original church was demolished at the end of the 19th century to make way for a new and more magnificent church. ⛪️Berlin Cathedral adopts Renaissance and Baroque styles and was designed by architect Julius Raschdorff. Its gorgeous appearance and exquisite interior decoration reflect the characteristics of neo-Baroque architecture. The church is 98 meters high, and its green dome is an important part of the Berlin skyline. ⛪️During World War II, the Berlin Cathedral was severely damaged, especially an air raid in 1944 that caused part of the church's dome to collapse. After the war, the restoration of the church lasted for decades and was finally completed in 1993. ⛪️The interior of the church is richly decorated with many exquisite sculptures, paintings and mosaics. The altarpiece and the pulpit on the central altar are particularly eye-catching. ⛪️The Berlin Cathedral has an organ built by Wilhelm Sauer, which is one of the largest and most important historical organs in the world. Visitors can climb 270 steps to the observation deck on the church's dome, from which they can overlook the magnificent view of the center of Berlin.

The Berliner Dom, or Berlin Cathedral, is one of the city's most iconic landmarks, offering both historical grandeur and architectural beauty. Located on Museum Island, the cathedral is a stunning example of Baroque Revival architecture, with its impressive dome visible from many points across the city.Visitors are drawn to the **Berliner Dom** not only for its sheer size and elegance but also for its rich history.

The building is magnificent. When you see it, you will feel surprised. It is hard to imagine how it was built in that era. There was no modern machinery, but the details of the craftsmanship are full of shock. I have to admire it.

The Berlin Cathedral is very worth a visit. Although I have to collect tickets to go in, I personally feel that the tickets for this 7.5 Europe (seems to be, I don’t remember it clearly...) are very worth the ticket. ～ As soon as I opened the door of the hall, I was shocked. ～ For details, please see the photo ～ Although the photo is not enough to show the church. Huge and exquisite, but you can also appreciate one or two ^_^～ When we went in, there happened to be a priest (guessed...) speaking, so that all stood up or something (a word can not understand >_<), and the organ playing ～ was very nice! The tours on the first floor can climb all the way to the top to overlook the cypress. Lin's scenery ～ If you are interested, you can also buy some postcards from Berlin Cathedral for commemoration ～

The Berlin Cathedral, which was destroyed in World War II and the renovation work continues to this day, is still the most eye-catching landmark in Berlin. The three baroque domes are extraordinary. The four-story building facing the Spree River adopts the decoration style of the baroque palace, which is magnificent. The bell tower on the west side has been in service so far, and the prayer bells are long and long; you can climb 260 steps to enjoy the magnificent view of downtown Berlin at the top of the cathedral.

The Berlin Cathedral in the heart of Berlin is the oldest and largest church in Berlin, and the grandeur is magnificent! The large lawn in front of the church is loved by locals and visitors, during a walk or here to relax! The old museum is close to the cathedral, from which you can visit the museum island, or you can visit the street under the Bodhi tree, and then all the way to Branden Gate.

The Berlin Cathedral, whose history dates back to the 15th century. Originally designed by John Bowman in the Baroque style, in the 19th century, the Hohenzollern royal family thought that the cathedral as a palace was too simple compared to their Berlin palace, so at the request of King William IV, began to build a magnificent cathedral. Redesigned by Yurius Rushdorf, it was added to the luxurious and brilliant Renaissance elements. Unfortunately, it was badly destroyed in World War II until the restoration was completed in 1993 after reunification. Although the current Berlin cathedral is magnificent and gorgeous, it is said that it is much simplified compared to the previous cathedral. The powerful weight of the tower is thin, and the 70-meter-high dome makes everyone who enters the cathedral stop and look up. The sun shines, the doves represent the Holy Spirit, and the reverence comes. The mosaic mosaic of the dome depicts the story of the Eight Blesseds of the Bible's Sermon on the Mount. Each dome is 39 square meters in size and contains more than 500,000 pieces, containing more than 2,000 mosaics of different colors. Along the middle passage to the altar, the altar of Han white jade, the onyx columns and the fence of the gold-plated pillars set the altar back to a magnificent setting. The painted murals around the altar depict three of Christianity's most sacred moments: the birth of Jesus, the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus. To the left of the altar is an oak sermon, the fine carvings are breathtaking, the dark coffee color is decorated with gold, and there is a heavy and low-key sense of luxury. Like all churches, the Berlin Cathedral also has a huge organ. The organ with 7,269 wind pipes has undoubtedly been crowned the "biggest pipe organ in Germany".
