History
The foundation began as a place of Roman Catholic worship. It became Lutheran during the Reformation, later adopted the Reformed confession after the electoral house converted to Calvinism, and became a united Protestant church through the Prussian Union. The end of the monarchy in 1918 marked a turning point for a parish closely tied to the Imperial Court.
- 1450A court chapel was consecrated in the new palace.
- 1545The Hohenzollern family began using the church as its burial place.
- 1894Construction of the present church began to Julius Carl Raschdorff’s plans.
- 1905The present church was inaugurated.
- 1944An air raid set the dome lantern on fire; it fell into the preaching church.
