Kirche Am Hohenzollernplatz - Furnishings

Furnishings

Prof. Hermann Sandkuhl (German) created sgraffiti, displaying different figures in the intermediate spaces between the pilasters, all lost in the fire in 1943. The tympanon of the last, somewhat smaller girder, opening towards the oriented quire, showed a painting of the Sermon on the Mount, depicting Jesus of Nazareth with a corona of light by Erich Waske (German), which was also lost in 1943. The prayer hall is illuminated by three long windows in the quire. The original windows were blasted away by the bombs. In 1962 Sigmund Hahn designed a new central quire window. In the course of the renovation of 1990/1991 Achim Freyer (German) added a new right and left colourful quire window. Höger's Baptismal font of clinker brick with gold paintings on it survived. Regina Roskoden's abstract basalt sculpture of an angel, graphics by Max Pechstein and a painting of the crucifixion by Hermann Krauth are shown in a by-room. Considerable offertories of the parishioners enabled to buy a new organ of 60 registers by E. Kemper & Sohn, installed after 1965 and requiring the removal of the second western loft gallery of seats.
