St.-Hedwigs-Kathedrale
A domed church rises on Bebelplatz along Unter den Linden, standing as the oldest major Catholic church in Berlin. Built in the mid-18th century, it has long been a landmark of the boulevard, with a round, classical form that sets it apart from the city’s many spires and brick façades.
A historic shell with a modern heart
The church suffered damage during the mid-20th century and later gained a bold new interior. In the 1950s, its inside was redesigned in a clean, modern style, creating a striking contrast with the baroque-inspired exterior. Light, simple lines and open space now define the sanctuary, while the dome continues to anchor the building’s historic silhouette.
Layers beneath the floor
Below the main level, a series of treasure chambers offers a more intimate encounter with the church’s past. These rooms hold sacred objects and historical pieces that trace centuries of Catholic life in Berlin, adding depth to the experience above ground.
