Guided tour of the permanent exhibition: On “Sunday in the Nikolaiviertel,” you can step back in time and explore Berlin’s past at one of the city’s landmarks.
How important was Berlin’s oldest surviving church building to people in past centuries? What do the remaining foundations of the late Romanesque basilica tell us? What traces did the bombing campaign leave behind? And why is the former church now a museum? You’ll find answers to these and other questions here.
As a museum, St. Nicholas Church illustrates the purposes the building served and how the medieval city developed. The exhibition features historical artifacts from Berlin churches, objects from the city’s early history, and large-scale city models. Various themed stations highlight specific topics.
