Congregation Today
On 1 April 1946 the northern part of the parish of the Wilmersdorf Congregation was constituted as today's Congregation at Hohenzollernplatz (German: Kirchengemeinde am Hohenzollernplatz), becoming the proprietor of the ruined church. Since 1987 the church is also open for exhibitions of contemporary art, two of which are shown every year. Art plays an important role for the congregation, thus there are also services referring to art. In 1991 the organ builder Sauer reintonated the Kemper organ, which is regularly used in the services and for concerts. Since November 2008 every Saturday at 12.00 the "NoonSong" – a 30 minutes lasting liturgy sung by the professional vocal ensemble sirventes berlin – attracts hundreds of listeners.
