Monomad Challenge - A Modern Church Building in Berlin - Part Two - Dark Side

[moretea]

Welcome 👁 Monochrome Lovers
and Architecture Fans

This is the second part of a two part post about the Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin, Germany that i discovered on one of my morningwalks. Don’t confuse this one with the iconic Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church ruins, one of Berlin's very famous landmarks.

Here’s what the Wikipedia article has to say about it:

“The Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächtniskirche (English: Emperor Frederick Memorial Church) is a German Protestant church owned and used by a congregation within the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. The church building is situated in Händelallee in Hansaviertel (a locality of Berlin's Mitte borough) near Großer Tiergarten. Designed by architect Ludwig Lemmer, it was built in 1957, replacing a former nineteenth-century building designed by Johannes Vollmer which was destroyed during World War II.” Source

In this second part I'll show you more dark views of this church. The first part is focused on much brighter views and can be found HERE if you’re curious, but all the pictures in both parts are totally #monomad for sure. I hope you enjoy them.

Part Two - The Dark Side

We’re approaching the church building through the Tiergarten with it’s gorgeous trees from the east again, but this time in the evening.

This time the main building is lit up on the front.

Here’s another shot without lighting from a dark morning on another day for comparison ...

… and a closer view of the open bell tower from the same dark morning and since we are already so close ...

… let’s have a closer look at the single very small circular mosaic window on the whole facade of the church with its pretty unusual symmetry of 5 which, strangely enough, is oriented in such a way that one could draw a pentagram with the tip pointing downwards. Anyway, let’s have a look at the center door next.

On the center door of the main entrance of the church we can see a kind of dragon slayer scene and there’s a text carved in the door that says:


Original Text

UND WENN DIE WELT VOLL TEUFEL WAER
UND WOLLT UNS GAR VERSCHLINGEN
SO FUERCHTEN WIR UNS NICHT SO SEHR
ES MUSS UNS DOCH GELINGEN

English Translation

AND IF THE WORLD WERE FULL OF DEVILS
AND WANTED TO DEVOUR US
WE ARE NOT SO MUCH AFRAID
WE MUST SUCCEED

So the carving is supposed to be a depiction of a devil then. Very interesting indeed, a pentagon/pentagram symmetry on the window and a devil on the door.

OK, let’s get back to the evening shots with the lit facade and the moment i stepped back to take tthis shot i discovered the sickle of the moon and a bright Jupiter next to it right above the church. What a nice coincidence.

To conclude the post a bit brighter i have another shot from the east on that dark morning with a nice silhouette of the bell tower for you to enjoy.
