Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde
Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde stands in Potsdam as a Baptist church shaped by worship, fellowship and architectural change. Its present building combines a neoclassical hall with a modern annex added in 1993. The site remains wheelchair accessible.
The congregation became independent from Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1910 and opened a community house on Yorckstraße the following year. Five bomb hits destroyed that building on 14 April 1945. Between 1957 and 1960, a new church rose from the ruins, incorporating stones from the war-damaged chapel of the Great Military Orphanage.
Inside, an organ built by Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau in 1973 provides a distinctive musical focus. Its 694 pipes span ten registers, two manuals and a pedal. Worship brings traditional hymns together with modern songs accompanied by a band. Small groups, community projects and cooperation with Potsdam churches extend that life beyond the sanctuary.
