Museum Nikolaikirche – 800 Years of History and Culture

Berlin’s oldest church building now houses a museum. The foundations of the double tower date back to 1230, making these the oldest rooms in Berlin. Partially destroyed in World War II, the reconstructed former house of God now houses a museum celebrating Berlin’s history.
Nikolaikirche / Stadtmuseum Berlin exhibits religious art, memorials and liturgical equipment, offering insights into the historic Nikolai quarter.  The permanent exhibition conveys the architectural, ecclesiastical and musical history of the important building and the urban development of Berlin in the Middle Ages.

  • Architecture and History: The museum showcases the architectural, ecclesiastical, and musical history of the church and the urban development of Berlin during the Middle Ages.
  • Exhibitions: The permanent exhibition includes historical artifacts, city models, and various exhibits that reflect Berlin’s rich history.
  • Music Tradition: The church has a significant musical heritage, with contributions from notable figures like Johann Crüger and Paul Gerhardt.
  • Reconstruction: After being heavily damaged during World War II, the church was reconstructed and reopened as a museum in 1987 for Berlin’s 750th anniversary.
