The church

The Protestant Jesus Christ Church in Berlin-Dahlem, built in 1930/31 by architect Jürgen Bachmann and consecrated in December 1932, has been undergoing extensive renovation since 2021. During the Second World War, the building suffered considerable damage, especially to the windows and roof, which led to long-term moisture damage.
In the post-war period, extensive renovation and conversion measures were carried out, including the separation of the front part of the church into a so-called winter church in order to be able to hold mass during the construction work and in the cold seasons.
Since then, however, only selective renovations have been carried out, so that a fundamental restoration was now necessary. We took on the work phases 1-7 and focused on the renovation of the slate roof.

Scope of the refurbishment measures 

We were responsible for renovating the slate roof, which had various damaged areas. The aim was to preserve the excellent room acoustics while at the same time taking into account the requirements of monument preservation and building physics.

Further renovation measures include the repair of the clinker brick façade and the tower, whose cracks and washed-out joints need to be repaired, as well as the repair of the badly damaged double-glazed windows. In addition, the coverings of several flat roofs need to be renewed, corroded steel girders derusted and damaged façade elements replaced. Inside, the heating system needs to be replaced and the former winter church, a separate vestibule, is to be redesigned to meet the liturgical requirements and the needs of the congregation.

In addition to planning and implementing the construction measures, we also oversaw the preparation and submission of funding applications for financial support for the project.
