Tips

Lemmi alias Schlumpf

August 31, 2022

At the beginning of the church there is an unsuccessful assassination attempt: Out of gratitude for having escaped an assassination attempt, Wilhelm I donated money for a new thanksgiving and votive church in 1861. In 1866, a church with a brick and terracotta cladding was built on the highest point in what was then Berlin.
During the Second World War, bombs destroyed the roof, the organ, the altar and the choir window. After the war, Berliners plunder the church in search of firewood. Later damage to the roof is not repaired for a long time, so the church is in a very bad condition for a long time. At the end of the 1980s, the renovation began, first on the roof and now also on the interior. The Zion Church has been open again since 2002.
Since the mid-1980s, the basement of the Zion Church has served as a meeting place for opposition groups such as the Peace and Environment Circle in the Zion Church. They also hide the "environmental library" there with officially banned books and magazines on environmental and human rights issues.

Former refuge of the GDR opposition. On October 17, 1987, visitors to a concert by the band "Element of Crime" were attacked by skinheads under the eyes of the Stasi. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cberfall_auf_die_Zionskirche
