Oldest church in Berlin

Berlin

The Church of St. Nicholas (Germ. Nikolaikirche) is the oldest church in Berlin, the capital of Germany. The church is located in the eastern part of central Berlin, the borough of Mitte. The area around the church, bounded by Spandauer Straße, Rathausstraße, the River Spree and Mühlendamm, is known as the Nikolaiviertel 'Nicholas quarter', and is an area of restored mediaeval buildings (in some cases recent imitations). The church was built between 1220 and 1230, and is thus, along with the Church of Our Lady at Alexanderplatz not far away, the oldest church in Berlin.

Die Nikolaikirche ist die älteste Kirche Berlins und steht unter Denkmalschutz. Sie befindet sich in Berlin-Mitte im Nikolaiviertel zwischen Spandauer Straße, Rathausstraße, Spree und Mühlendamm. Die Nikolaikirche ist heute ein zur Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin gehörendes Museum, in dem auch regelmäßig Konzerte stattfinden.
