Nikolaikirch
Description
The epicentre of the peace and protest movements that eventually spelt the end of the DDR. From 1982 onwards the church was holding regular "Prayer for Peace" services, often being broken up by the Stasi. From the late spring of 1989 the crowds got larger, the protests that followed got bigger and eventually by November the tipping point had been reached and the DDR disintegrated. Inside the church the plain white painted pews and white pillars take the eye up to the stunning roof, with the pillars turning into palm fronds as they reach the ceiling.
