Zion Church

5 July Summer - 10 months ago

Very beautiful church, especially exterior. It was open and free to enter. There is some information and pictures about church history. On the wall behind the altar you can still see the original painting. You can go stairs up, to enjoy the church interior from top. There was an interesting "Paper sculpture" exhibition in that time. There is open toilet in basement.

Beautiful building although is currently under remodeling. You can still visit the site and go to the first floor that oversees the chapel.

At the moment it's being renovated. So you can go to where usually the organ is and look down at the beautiful architecture, stripped down to its bone.

One of the most beautiful old churches here. High and monstrous it seems to be talking to us with a wisdom of past ages.

Very interesting and important, due to the fact that people who wanted to protest gathered there and it used to be the place for concerts and "alternative activities"

Interesting church, Germanic architecture from XIX Century! In this church started the movement Umwelt-Bibliothek, founded by a group of young people during the 1980’s concerned with environmental issues, after Chernobyl disaster, creating a library of books that were not allowed by the autocratic and communist DDR Regime. This books were mainly of political science and environmental issues, issues that were forbidden in a regime with lack of democracy and freedom... This movement was the trigger to the base of Grünen, the Green political party in Germany!!

Negative issues about this church and that’s why I don’t give 5 stars:
The information of the big placards is only written in german, there are some small flyers in english, but not so rich in information! Lucky I can manage to understand a bit german, but for many of tourists, mokoko!!
Umwelt-Bibliothek was located on the cave of the church... no information how to get there and if is possible to go... is a shame, because I’m sure is the struggle against the communist and totalitarian regime that attracts more the people to this church!
(This are the two aspects why I don’t give 5 stars)
Other 2 aspects to be mentioned:
The tower is closed because of Covid-19
The church needs renovation, with great hope, the works will start on 2021
