The Holy Cross Church is a Protestant church which was built between 1885 and 1888 according to the plans of the master-builder Johannes Otzen under the supervision of Julius Kleinau. Destroyed by Allied air raids during the Second World War, the church was rebuilt in 1951-1959 in a simplified form.
The St. Agnes church, built from 1964 to 1967, is a former brutalist church designed by Werner Düttmann. Partially abandoned in the 2000s, it has been taken over by the König Gallery since 2015, which has turned it into a museum of contemporary art.
St. Agnes church, a prominent example of Brutalist architecture in Berlin-Kreuzberg, was built by Werner Düttmann in 1967. Renovated by Arno Brandlhuber, it now serves as KÖNIG GALERIE, an art space featuring interdisciplinary works.
St. John's Basilica is a church built between 1894 and 1897, the largest Catholic church in Berlin. The architect was the building consultant August Menken. He designed the church as a basilica in the Rhineland Romanesque style. After the Second World War, the church was used for the central services of the diocese of Berlin, because St. Hedwigs Cathedral was still badly damaged. In addition to being a parish church, it served as the cathedral of the German military ordinance.
