Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz (''Church at Hohenzollernplatz '') is the church of the Evangelical Congregation at Hohenzollernplatz, a member of today's Protestant umbrella Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. The church is located at the eastern side of Hohenzollernplatz square in the locality of Wilmersdorf, in Berlin's borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. The building is considered one of the main pieces of Brick Expressionism.〔Sibylle Badstübner-Gröger, Michael Bollé, Ralph Paschke et al., ''Handbuch der Deutschen Kunstdenkmäler / Georg Dehio'': 22 vols., revis. and ext. new ed. by Dehio-Vereinigung, Berlin and Munich: Deutscher Kunstverlag, 22000, vol. 8: Berlin, p. 496. ISBN 3-422-03071-9.〕 And it is a testimonial of unique quality of expressionist church architecture in Berlin.〔Karin Köhler, Christhard-Georg Neubert and Dieter Wendland, ''Kirchen und Gotteshäuser in Berlin: Eine Auswahl'', Berliner Arbeitskreis City-Kirchen (ed.), Berlin: Evangelische Kirche in Berlin-Brandenburg, 2000, p. 77. ISBN 3-931640-43-4.〕 The naming of the church after the square was originally a solution for the time being, until another name might be chosen. Meanwhile the name has become a brand, even though the debate goes on.〔 ==Church and architect== Due to the high number of new parishioners moving in during the first third of the 20th century the existing three churches, to wit Auenkirche, High Master Church, and Church of the Cross, never sufficed to contain the congregants of the ''Evangelical Wilmersdorf Congregation'' (). In 1927 the then wealthy congregation, whose parish then comprised the locality of Wilmersdorf, therefore decided to build an additional church in the north of its parish.〔Karin Köhler, Christhard-Georg Neubert and Dieter Wendland, ''Kirchen und Gotteshäuser in Berlin: Eine Auswahl'', Berliner Arbeitskreis City-Kirchen (ed.), Berlin: Evangelische Kirche in Berlin-Brandenburg, 2000, p. 76. ISBN 3-931640-43-4.〕 The congregation tendered a competition and the architecture firms of Otto Bartning, Hellmuth Grisebach, Fritz Höger, Otto Kuhlmann , Leo Lottermoser and Hans Rottmayr handed in their projects.〔 Höger prevailed with the design of the architect Ossip Klarwein , who started to work with Höger by 1921, with the design altered by the latter.〔Myra Warhaftig ((ヘブライ語:מירה ווארהפטיג)), ''Sie legten den Grundstein. Leben und Wirken deutschsprachiger jüdischer Architekten in Palästina 1918–1948'', Berlin und Tübingen: Wasmuth, 1996, p. 294. ISBN 3-8030-0171-4〕 Klarwein was chief designer (〔Cf. Ernst-Erik Pfannschmidt, another architect employed with Höger, in his (Letter to Eckhardt Berckenhagen, 29 June 1977 ), who then prepared the exhibition on the occasion of Höger's 100th anniversary in the Kunstbibliothek Berlin, an institution of the Berlin State Museums of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.〕) in Höger's firm and – according to his contract – all his designs were issued under Höger's name.〔 The congregation commissioned the Hamburg-based architecture firm of Höger. So Klarwein moved to Joachim-Friedrich-Straße No. 47 (Berlin), shortly before the constructions started, in order to supervise the realisation of the design. The construction lasted from 1930 to 1933.〔Günther Kühne and Elisabeth Stephani, ''Evangelische Kirchen in Berlin'' (11978), Berlin: CZV-Verlag, 21986, p. 310. ISBN 3-7674-0158-4.〕 On 19 March 1933 the church was inaugurated, soon after Klarwein, his wife and son Mati emigrated to Mandatory Palestine, because of the Nazi takeover (Machtergreifung). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
