Gallery: Marienkirche

Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church) near Alexanderplatz was first mentioned in 1292, making it at least the second oldest church in Berlin. While we were there, it was undergoing renovations, so I did not take many photos of the outside. Like almost every structure in Berlin, it was rebuilt after the war.
