Construction of Garnisonkirche Tower Dome Begins in Potsdam

The 30-meter dome, made of wood, copper, and stainless steel, is set to complete the historic church's reconstruction by summer 2027.

  • The Garnisonkirche's tower dome will be preassembled next to the structure before being installed atop the 57-meter tower.
  • A 130-ton crane with a 75-meter hook height will facilitate the dome's placement as part of the ongoing construction process.
  • The church, a site of historical significance tied to the Nazi era, has been reimagined as a place for democracy education and reflection on its controversial past.
  • Despite construction, the church's exhibition and café will remain open to the public throughout the project.
  • The dome's completion will mark the final stage of the Garnisonkirche's reconstruction, which began in 2017 and saw the tower reopened in 2024.
