The Church of the Good Shepherd in the Berlin district of Friedenau was built as a nave church with narrow, aisle-like aisles and a slender, 70-meter-high tower in the historicized Gothic style. The slate-covered masonry work, which was faced with dark red bricks based on a design by Karl Doflein, is in an exponent urban area on Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz. On the birthday of Empress Auguste Viktoria, the foundation stone was given in her presence, and she was administered at the inauguration. In the Second World War the church suffered rights under the windows and doors, the roof was largely sold, the weather had spoiled all the painting. After the war, the interior was simply hit, and manual overhauls made the original more comfortable. The church is a listed building.
After the administration of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, construction activities spread to the Berlin area. The “Landerwerb- und Bauverein auf Actien”, founded on July 9, 1871, acquired from Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn between 1871 and 1875, manages 550 acres of land from his manor Deutsch-Wilmersdorf and belongs to the villa suburb of Friedenau. Their names name the settlement after the peace treaty of Frankfurt 1871: "Frieden-Au". Subsequent to the development plan by the district of Teltow, on November 9, 1874, Friedenau became part of the independent rural community of this district. The population increased rapidly in the following exceptions. In 1890 Friedenau had 4211 inhabitants. The Friedenauers have church rights to the Wilmersdorf village church, the predecessor of today's Auenkirche. Since both Wilmersdorf and Friedenau were expanding and the way to the Wilmersdorfer village church was too far for the Friedenauers, they celebrated their own devotions and services in an inn on Rheinstrasse. When the room rent became too expensive, the community found a place in the school building on Albestrasse. In 1885 the Friedenauer became her own clergyman. The idea of building a church in Friedenau arose at the beginning of the 1870s. Already in 1883 the rural community of Friedenau had provided rights for the building of the church, it was not open until 1891 with the construction of the church for the parish of Friedenau, which became independent on October 1, 1889.
The Empress war on the architect Doflein had become through the unaccepted plan for the Gnadenkirche in Invalidenpark. His design in the competition for the Dankeskirche (1944 severe and 1949 demolished) in the wedding had found the participation of the empress, but according to her will it was in a more effective location on the Friedrich Wendilhel wendm amtrich at the request of the parish of the empress the patronage for the church. The construction costs between 274,000 marks (today: around 1,762,000 euros), which the mother community Deutsch-Wilmersdorf, the Empress, the church building association and the rural community receive on request, which also flow over the building site free of charge.
In the period after 1945 the most difficult rights were dealt with. The windows were provisionally made weatherproof, the roof re-covered, the walls washed and freshly whitewashed because a new painting was out of the question because of the high costs. A heater was installed in April 1954. The municipal administration since June 12, 1959 rights the name "To the good shepherd".
For the 75th anniversary of the church in 1968, the church was then generally redesigned according to plans by Peter Lehrercke. The concern for Wilhelmine Gothic should become a parish church of today. The entire interior - untouched by the effects of the war - the pulpit, the altar, the baptism and all the sculptural work were administered.
A concrete pedestal was built into the chancel. A steel cross was placed in the empty choir room. The parapets in the niches of the choir arch were broken out and the openings walled up. The brick view of the entire room was covered with a light synthetic resin paint.
In 1974, at the suggestion of the church building association of the community in cooperation with the state curator, the plan was to look for a replacement for what had been lost. The entire worship service invention without running over the hospital chapel of the continued Liebesösten Bethanien deaconess houses in the Church of the Good Shepherd.
The renovation work began in January 1984. The concrete base in front of the altar right and the altar staircase and steps were repeated. The side choir arches and the niches with the draperies and original profiles were also used again. The emulsion paint in the chancel and in the choir arch was determined. The pillars, pilaster strips, ribs and cornices were renewed. The exposed brickwork was restored in the natural tone and the vaulted caps plastered. The tower was only built in early 1977.
The design of the church Zum Guten Hirten follows the ideas of the Eisenach regulation from 1861. The church is a nave with a wide central nave, aisle-like side aisles with galleries and a recessed, right-angled. The central nave comes over yokes and the choir over a person yoke are covered with cross vaults. The side aisles are alternating through all gables with high windows, over which transverse gable roofs lead. The high tower is flanked by polygonal stair towers that lead to the galleries in the side aisles and to the organ gallery. One of the west side of the choir is the baptistery, one of its east side the sacristy. The main portal in the tower leads into a vestibule, in which a sculpture of the Good Shepherd rises above the double portal on the central pillar. There is a sculpture of the Apostle Peter on the True Stair Tower and one of the Apostles Paul on the other.
The altar, pulpit and baptismal font corresponded to the style of the church and, with their columns and marble cladding, were coordinated with the richly illustrated painting.
The old, an organ loft built into the niche of the tower, has a pneumatic organ with 27 stops and two manuals. During the First World War, the pewter pipes were used to make war material. These were reported by pipes made of aluminum coated with zinc. But the organ was much too small for the large room. You need to change the mechanical bugs caused by a new instrument. Due to cost conditions, a contract of around 150,000 Marks was lost, the new organ was built by the Berlin organ building workshop Schuke in two construction phases. The first construction phase with the basic registers and half of the pipes was carried out until the anniversary of the church, November 10, 1968. The new organ finally has 40 registers, controls on three manuals and pedal, a central action and an electrical control mechanism. The prospect became one of the newest interiors of the church. The old organ gallery has been removed, the new organ is on the main gallery.
After the First World War he interests the community a monument by Heinrich Missfeldt interests for its fallen members. Because of the great number of those killed. The memorial consists of another large mourning female figure who - kneeling with collected personal figures - looks at a steel helmet adorned with laurel in front of her own. In the middle of the plinth there is a cabinet for storing the book of honor with the names of the fallen. The memorial will be requested in the entrance hall. The niche facing the pulpit was then prepared because of a heating installation. The monument was destroyed on April 16, 1921. Because the niches were later bricked up during the renovation work to enlarge the chancel, the memorial is now in the nave right next to the entrance to the left on the wall.
