Marienkirche / St. Mary's Church, Berlin - 2nd July, 2012 (HD)
St. Mary's Church, known in German as the Marienkirche, is a church in Berlin, Germany. The church is located on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße (formerly Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße) in central Berlin, near Alexanderplatz. Its exact age is not known, but it was first mentioned in German chronicles in 1292. It is presumed to date from earlier in the 13th century. It was originally a Roman Catholic church, but has been a Lutheran Protestant church since the Protestant Reformation.
Marienkirche is the church of the bishop of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia with Berlin Cathedral being under joint supervision of all the member churches of the Union of Evangelical Churches.
Along with the Nikolaikirche, the Marienkirche is the oldest church in Berlin. The oldest parts of the church are made from granite, but most of it is built of brick, giving it its characteristic bright red appearance. This was deliberately copied in the construction of the nearby Berlin City Hall, the Rotes Rathaus. During World War II, it was heavily damaged by Allied bombs. After the war the church was in East Berlin, and in the 1950s it was restored by the East German authorities.
Before World War II, the Marienkirche was in the middle of a densely populated part of the district of Mitte, and was in regular use as a parish church. After the war, this area was cleared of ruined buildings and today the church stands in the open spaces around the Alexanderplatz, and is overshadowed by the East Berlin television tower, the Fernsehturm.
There is a striking statue of Martin Luther outside the church. The Marienkirche also contains the tomb of Field Marshal Otto Christoph von Sparr. Carl Hildebrand Freiherr von Canstein, the founder of the oldest Bible society of the world, the Cansteinsche Bibelanstalt, was buried here in 1719.

Places to see in ( Berlin - Germany ) St Mary's Church
Experience a mediaeval atmosphere right in the middle of the high-rise buildings. The Marienkirche is on Alexanderplatz, beside the TV Tower. Don’t miss the Dance of Death fresco. Next time you’re at Alexanderplatz taking a walk along Karl-Marx-Allee, why not take a detour back to the Middle Ages for a change. The Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church) is one of the oldest churches in Berlin.
Shortly after Berlin was granted town privileges in 1230, the building of the Marienkirche began. It was probably built some time after 1250 as a parish church for the newly established town – the exact date is not known. It was first mentioned in chronicles in 1292. Today, the Marienkirche is often associated with the Nikolaikirche, the remnants of the Franziskaner-Klosterkirche and the chapel of the Heilig-Geist-Spital, all of which were built in the earliest stages of Berlin’s urban history.
On foundations made of fieldstones, the church was built from red bricks in the local Brick Gothic style. It is a long hall church with thee naves. Wide arches and arcades make the comparatively low-ceilinged church look bigger. Cup-shaped compound piers adorn the interior. The spatial architecture is based on that of the churches of the mendicant orders, which were a very popular inspiration for town churches at the time.
Berlin has suffered many fires during its history, and the Church of St. Mary was not spared from them. In the late 14th century it was damaged by fire and rebuilt in a modified form. From the 15th century, the church tower made of Rüdersdorf limestone was repaired and modified. Michael Mathias Smids redesigned it in 1663 in the Baroque style, and a complete Neo-Gothic overhaul was carried out in 1789 by the celebrated master builder Carl Gotthard Langhans. One of his most famous works still stands today at Pariser Platz – the Brandenburg Gate. The imposing pulpit of the protestant church was added in 1703 by Andreas Schlüter.
Today, the church’s centrepiece and main attraction, even for non-believers, is the fresco painting entitled Dance of Death. More than 22 metres long and 2 metres high, it is in the tower of the Marienkirche. Various sources date the fresco at around 1484 – the year when a plague epidemic cost many people their lives. The remaining fragments of the fresco, which depicts the dancing dead representing people from all walks of life, is exhibited behind glass. Many other panels, reliefs and inscriptions can be found in the church, which is still used today.
The Marienkirche is the oldest parish church in the city of Berlin that is still in religious use. It is situated beside the TV Tower and among the East German high-rise blocks – don’t miss this fascinating mixture in the middle of Berlin.

Berlin TV Tower - Neptune Fountain - St Marys Church - Rotes Rathaus Berlin Germany
The Berlin TV Tower, Neptune Fountain, St Marys Church & Rotes Rathaus. (for hotels:
The Fernsehturm (English: Berlin TV Tower) is a television tower in central Berlin, Germany. Close to Alexanderplatz in Berlin, the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the administration of the German Democratic Republic. It was intended as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today, as it is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany. The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the country and is often in the establishing shot of films set in Berlin. Due to its location near Alexanderplatz, the tower is occasionally called Alex Tower.
The Neptune Fountain (Neptunbrunnen) in Berlin was built in 1891 and was designed by Reinhold Begas. The Roman god Neptune is in the center. The four women around him represent the four main rivers of Prussia at the time the fountain was constructed: the Elbe (with the allegorical figure holding fruits and ears of corn), Rhine (fishnet and grapes), Vistula (wooden blocks, symbols of forestry), and Oder (goats and animal skins). The Berlin Neptune Fountain can be found between the St Mary's Church and the Rotes Rathaus.

The fountain was removed from its original location at the Schlossplatz in 1951, when the former Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Palace) there was demolished. Eventually, after being restored, the fountain was moved in 1969 to its present location between the St Mary's Church and the Rotes Rathaus. Coordinates: 52°31′10″N 13°24′25″E.
The diameter is 18 m (59 ft), the height is 10 m (33 ft).
There was another well-known Neptunbrunnen in Breslau (nicknamed Gabeljürge or Georgie Fork by the locals), but it was destroyed during World War II and the city was later transferred to Poland.

Berlin, Germany - Berlin Cathedral HD (2013)
Berlin Cathedral (German: Berliner Dom) is the colloquial name for the Evangelical (i.e. Protestant) Oberpfarr- und Domkirche (English analogously: Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church, literally Supreme Parish and Cathedral Church) in Berlin, Germany. It is the parish church of the Evangelical congregation Gemeinde der Oberpfarr- und Domkirche zu Berlin, a member of the umbrella organisation Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. Its present building is located on Museum Island in the Mitte borough.
The Berlin Cathedral has never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop. The bishop of the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg (under this name 1945--2003) is based in St. Mary's Church, Berlin, and Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. St. Hedwig's Cathedral serves as seat of Berlin's Roman Catholic metropolitan bishop.
