Services of worship and Vespers

We celebrate with prayer and services of worship every day at Berlin's Evangelical Cathedral. You are warmly invited, simply come along and celebrate with us. The service with Holy Communion on Sunday at 10 is a wonderful experience above all else.

Your children are young but you would like to attend a service on Sundays where you are really able to listen to the sermon? This is no problem at Berlin Cathedral, given that we celebrate children’s services of worship on selected Sundays at 10 AM with girls and boys between the ages of 3 and 12. Before the readings, the children are invited to attend the children’s service of worship. There they will enjoy biblical stories, singing, prayer and crafts.

When the entire Cathedral is buzzing with the sound of young voices, when groovy music blankets the service congregation, when boys and girls are singing their hearts out, when posters are unfolded or wishes written on the Cathedral's pillars – then this is the school pupils’ service held at Berlin Cathedral.

At the end of the week, the »Hour of Cathedral Music« (»Stunde der Dommusik«) takes place on Saturday. Here, the rich treasure of choral and organ music meets biblical texts in a liturgical setting. Whether you listen to our large Sauer organ as a soloist, one of our choirs or guests - you can expect 45 minutes of church music at the highest level.

The Cathedral is illuminated by candlelight. Time for God – Time for oneself – Time for one another. The room is filled with the first few beautiful notes emanating from the piano. The voices and other instruments become fused in celebration and praise of God. The Taizé evenings involve a moving service of worship. Every month sees hundreds of people celebrate on one occasion at Berlin Cathedral.

Once a month sees us celebrate a Cathedral Vesper as a choral Evensong very much in keeping with Anglican tradition. This special form of Cathedral Vesper is largely supported by a choir called The English Choir Berlin conducted by Max Carsley.

Please note that suitcases, large bags and bags larger than DIN A4 cannot be taken into the Berlin Cathedral. This also applies to suitcases and luggage of any kind. This measure applies in principle to concerts, tours and church services alike and serves to protect our visitors. We thank you in advance for your understanding. There are a few lockers in the Domarkaden that you are welcome to use for your luggage. However, the number is limited. Especially during events that are in high demand, such as our cathedral concerts and the large church services, we therefore recommend that you leave large bags and luggage at home.
