French architect Le Corbusier became famous in Marseille and Nantes for his unique multi-coloured tower blocks. His only work in Berlin was built for the 1957 International Exhibition of Construction and is situated just a few blocks away from the Olympic Stadium. Surrounded by trees and lawns, the huge symmetrical concrete high-rise, studded with multicoloured balconies, is admired even by the sternest critics of modern architecture. Unfortunately though, the building could not be built exactly according to Corbusier's original plans. He had wanted to incorporate theatres, shops and kindergartens on the ground floor, but inflexible building regulations prevented him from doing so.
The Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul is one of Wannsee's most beautiful buildings. Constructed in 1836 on a hilltop overlooking the River Havel, the church is situated close to two other major attractions Blockhaus Nikolskoe and the idyllic Pfaueninsel. King Friedrich Wilhelm III originally ordered his architect to design a Russian-style church, but the fashion-conscious architect stubbornly insisted on constructing a neo-Roman building with a distinct Mediterranean touch, the current flavor of the day. Only the belltower with its golden onion dome displays any allusions to Russia. The interior is decorated with Byzantine frescos, a rarity in Germany. Nowadays the church holds frequent concerts during the summer months.
This is a city location for Muslim worship and other services.
Built the early 1900s, the Grunewaldkirche (Green Forest Church) stands today as a well-preserved historical site that represents the community's history. Amazingly enough, this grand church was constructed in only two years. Dubbed the "king of all instruments" by Mozart, the organ in this church is a nice sight to see. Together the organ and natural acoustics of the stone walls makes it an ideal spot for musical events and concerts.
Literally meaning the Evangelical Church of Nicodemus, this holy institution is set on a wide campus. The Gothic-style building of the church, a daycare center, a nursery, a large garden and a playground are all components of the same campus. Personal space for worship as well as regular masses are offered at this religious institution. Apart from serving as a place of worship, the calm and scenic locales of this place make it very appealing for the visitors. The church conducts numerous religious services and also hosts cultural activities for entertainment.
