"Empty churches" Top 5 Page for this destination People (Germans, Berliners..) Tip by matcrazy1
People (Germans, Berliners..), Berlin: 25 reviews and 26 photos
Visiting churches (evangelic and Roman catholic) in Berlin I didn't find any prayers inside despite it was Sunday - holy day for Christians. The churches were empty and as I noticed there were holy masses advertised, but usually only one on Sunday.
What a difference with my country where churches are usually full of prayers at least on each Sunday. In Poland 95% declares to be catholics and 80% practicing.
Berlin is not so homogenous. As I noticed it's multicultural city with many various religions and temples/churches to be found: protestant (45%), Roman catholic (37%), orthodox, judaism etc.
Additionally during the time of division of the city religion was discouraged, and crosses were removed from churches in East Berlin.
