P312 - Germany - Berlin Cathedral


The Berlin Cathedral, Berlin, Germany




Berlin Cathedral (German: Berliner Dom) is the colloquial name for the Evangelical 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 had never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term, since Berlin, let alone this Cathedral, had never been the seat of a Catholic bishop. When in 1930 the Holy See for the first time established a Catholic diocese of Berlin, the Berlin Cathedral had long been a Protestant church. St. Hedwig's Cathedral serves as seat of Berlin's Metropolitan bishop. Function and title of bishop, as used in the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg (under this name 1945-2003), comprise the Protestant bishop's regular preaching in St. Mary's Church, Berlin, being the bishop's domicile church with Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church being the second seat.


柏林大教堂(Berliner Dom)是基督教路德宗教堂,位于德国柏林市中部博物馆岛的东端。曾是德意志帝国霍亨索伦王朝(Haus Hohenzollern)的宫廷教堂。

柏林大教堂座东朝西,东面背靠施普雷河(Spree),南面是前民主德国的共和国宫(Palast der Republik),西边面对鲁斯特花园(Lustgarten),北边是老国家博物馆(Alte Museum)。

教堂内部装饰华丽。可以容纳500人左右。地上建筑有4层。游客还可以登顶俯瞰柏林市区。一层还停放着德国皇帝弗里德里希三世(Kaiser Friedrich III,1831-1888)、选帝侯约翰·西塞罗(Kurfürsten Johann Cicero,1455-1499)、大选帝侯(„Große Kurfürst")弗里德里希·威廉(Friedrich Wilhelm)及其夫人Dorothea von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg(1636-1689)、普鲁士第一位国王弗里德里希一世(Friedrich I)及王后索菲·夏洛特·冯·汉诺威(Sophie Charlotte von Hannover,1668-1705)等人的灵柩。

教堂的二层的模型展示了柏林大教堂在各个时期的不同样式以及当时的设计方案。楼梯墙壁上的照片记录了教堂在二战时被轰炸和损毁的情景。

教堂的地下一层安放着霍亨索伦家族各个时期成员的灵柩。
