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.
