Think of a welcoming place. This is the Gemeindezentrum ev. Kirchengemeinde Rudow. It offers community in the south of Neukölln. The Gemeindezentrum ev. Kirchengemeinde Rudow is surrounded by other parishes. These are Dreieinigkeit, Groß-Ziethen, Schönefeld and Alt-Glienicke.
Imagine a vibrant community. The Gemeindezentrum ev. Kirchengemeinde Rudow warmly welcomes new members. It makes them feel at home. The village church has a long history. It was originally built in the 14th century. War damage took its toll. Not much remains of the original structure. The fieldstone church was rebuilt in 1951. Before that, services took place in the Paul-Gerhardt-Saal.
Picture the growing community. In the 1960s, the Neue Gemeindehaus was built. It is located at Köpenicker Str. 147. It provided space for meetings and events. The kindergarten needed more room too. It moved from Prierosser Straße. A new building was built on Krokusstrasse. It could accommodate up to 90 children.
Consider expansion. In the early 1970s, another Gemeindezentrum was created. This is the Gemeindezentrum ev. Kirchengemeinde Rudow at Geflügelsteig. It served members in Rudow West. It offered a place for services and gatherings.
Think about the 1990s. New buildings arose in the Frauenviertel. It was then called Gartenstadt. The church could not afford another community center. Instead, they worked with other churches. They created an ecumenical project. This became the Laden Café “Kirche in der Gartenstadt e.V.”. Dedicated members from different churches founded it. These included Catholic, Evangelical and Lydia congregations. They all support the café. They offer activities for all ages.
Notice the Familienzentrum. The Evangelische Familienzentrum Rudow is located here. It is near the old village church. It is also close to the Kitas. The Familienzentrum provides a space for families in the heart of Rudow. Children play and parents connect.
Families find a welcoming place here. The Gemeindezentrum ev. Kirchengemeinde Rudow and its surroundings create a strong community. It doesn’t matter where they come from, what their religion is, how old they are, or what kind of family they have. Everyone is welcome. The Gemeindezentrum ev.

Remember the services offered here. Sunday services are held at 11:00 am. This is for everyone. The Gemeindezentrum ev. Kirchengemeinde Rudow continues to be a vital part of the community.
