Nicolai Quarter: History of Berlin's City Center
Around 1230 the Nikolai Church took shape first as a basilica built in the form of a fortress. You can see it here clearly: the massive and monumental westwork, with its ashlar masonry made of fieldstones dominates the church yard up until today. In the years leading up to 1490, St. Nikolai was transformed into a Gothic hall church. Since then it has been one of the many examples of the flourishing brick architecture in this region. The two twin towers so prominently emerging from the Berlin skyline were added only in the 19th century. In 1938, the church was deconsecrated and now, an exhibition about its history is being shown in its rooms.

Descend to the Beyer crypt, visit the vaults and step back 800 years in history. The foundations of the double tower date back to 1230, making these the oldest rooms in Berlin. Partially destroyed in World War II, the reconstructed former house of God now houses a museum celebrating Berlin's history. Nikolaikirche / Stadtmuseum Berlin exhibits religious art, memorials and liturgical equipment, offering insights into the historic Nikolai quarter. Seven themed exhibits, including Treasure from the Tower and The Pantheon of Berlin, sketch the city's trajectory from origins to present. Learn more via the media stations and free audio guide App.
Nikolai Church has transformed repeatedly during its history. Today the distinctive double tower dominates the skyline. Constructed in red brick at the end of the 19th century, bombing raids in 1944 destroy the Nikolai Church and district almost completely. The spires, roof and parts of the vault are lost. In 1969, the building passes to the Berlin municipal authorities, and both church and municipal rooms are reconstructed in the 80s. The reconstruction of Berlin's 750-year old monument is completed in 1987. If you enter Nikolai Church today, you can once again marvel at the Gothic interior with its distinctive, colourful roof.
In the course of its history, the church has not only been a place of Christian worship but also serves the citizens of Berlin as a municipal centre. Throughout history, it has been the scene of important historical events. Paul Gerhardt, theologian and author of several famous hymns, is rectorate here in the 17th century. 1809 sees the first municipal decrees passed in the church. The first freely elected public representatives are sworn in here in 1991 to celebratory peals of the church bells. Speaking of music: Nikolai remains a place for music lovers, holding regular organ concerts.
From Nikolai Church it is about 10 minutes on foot to Cölln, Berlin's former sister city. You need only cross the Spree river to reach Petriplatz, the historic centre of Berlin dating to the Middle Ages. In 2006, archaeologists discover the foundations of five churches under Petriplatz. The most ancient is founded around 1200. Archaeologists discover 500 year old tombs and more than 3,700 skeletons next to the church. Between 2006 and 2009, architects uncover an old Latin school underneath the foundation walls of the Cöllner St. Peter's Church and the Cöllner Town Hall. The current sacred building is a meeting place for Christians, Jews and Muslims; a symbol of peaceful exchanges between religions.
Take the M48 bus and stop at the Nikolai quarter. Alternatively, take subway line U2 to Alexanderplatz. From here, it is a short walk down Town Hall Road to St. Nicholas Church. With the Berlin WelcomeCard you will receive a 40% discount on admission. Entry is free with a Berlin Museum pass. As one of Berlin's City Museums, entry to St. Nicholas is free every first Wednesday of the month. Entry is also free for children and young people under 18 years old. The Museum is open on Mondays.

Walking from Alexanderplatz to Potsdamer Platz, Berlin - Germany 4K Travel Channel
When we arrive at Alexanderplatz, the first spring sunshine awaits us. We watch the life a little, but stay only briefly. On the way to Nikolai quarter we pass the Red City Hall, the seat of the Berlin Senate and the Governing Mayor of Berlin. The back is determined by the Molkenmarkt, the large surface area determines the construction process. To the left is the Local Court of Berlin-Mitte. Right besides, the old town hall which was built as an extension of the city hall. The Nikolaiviertel is to the right.
The Nikolaiviertel is regarded as one of the oldest quarters of Berlin. In the 2nd World War it was destroyed almost completely in bomb raids and street fights. For the 750th anniversary of Berlin in 1987, the quarter was rebuilt. The St. Nicholas' Church with the Wappenbrunnen (foundation fountain) to commemorate the founding of Berlin, give the impression of an idyllic medieval city, although no building is older than 40 years.
The Ephraim-Palais with its extensive gold ornamentation was built by Veitel Heine Ephraim. He was a financier of the wars of Frederick II. By inferior coins he scored high profits, but contributed to a sharp rise in inflation.
During reconstruction, the building was constructed using original parts, 12 m from the original site. Today it is a museum and part of the Berlin City Museum Foundation.
The Mühlendammschleuse combines the original settlements Coelln (the oldest part of the city of Berlin) and Nikolai. Built as dam, it was later rebuilt to mills that grind grain. Later, sawmills were built. In the 16th century the sluiceway was set up. It allows the sailing around of the mills in the Spree. Due to the ever-growing ships and increasing ship traffic the Mühlendammschleuse was built around 1894. Today's double sluice was set up in 1936.
In 1688, the square was created according to plans of Johann Arnold Nering in the middle of Friedrichstadt. Elector Friedrich III., the later King Frederick I settled the French immigrants (huguenots) who had fled before the French revolution, here.

Als wir am Alexanderplatz ankommen, erwartet uns die erste Frühlingssonne. Wir beobachten ein wenig das Leben, halten uns hier aber nur kurz auf. Auf dem Weg zum Nikolaiviertel passieren wir das „Rote Rathaus“, den Sitz des Berliner Senats und des Regierenden Bürgermeisters von Berlin. Die Rückseite wird vom Molkenmarkt bestimmt, der großflächig das Baugeschehen bestimmt. Zur linken Hand befindet sich das Amtsgericht Mitte. Rechts daneben das alte Stadthaus, das als Erweiterung des Rathauses erbaut wurde. Zur rechten Hand befindet sich das Nikolaiviertel, dem wir uns zuwenden.
Das Nikolaiviertel gilt als eines der ältesten Viertel Berlins. Im 2. Weltkrieg wurde es bei Bombenangriffen und Straßenkämpfen fast vollständig zerstört. Erst zur 750-Jahr-Feier Berlins im Jahre 1987 wurde das Viertel wieder aufgebaut. Die Nikolaikirche mit dem Gründungsbrunnen, der an die Gründung Berlins erinnern soll, vermitteln den Eindruck einer idyllischen mittelalterlichen Stadt, obwohl kein Gebäude älter als 40 Jahre ist.
Das Ephraim-Palais mit seiner reichhaltigen Goldverzierung wurde von Veitel Heine Ephraim erbaut. Er war Finanzier der Kriege von Friedrich II. Durch minderwertige Münzen erzielte er hohe Gewinne, trug aber zu einer stark steigenden Inflation bei.
Beim Wiederaufbau wurde das Gebäude, unter Verwendung ursprünglicher Teile, 12 m vom Ursprungsort wieder errichtet. Heute ist es ein Museum und gehört zur Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin.
Die Mühlendammschleuse verbindet die ursprünglichen Siedlungen Cölln (der älteste Stadtteil Berlins) und Nikolai. Damals als Damm gebaut, wurde er später in Mühlen umgebaut, die erst Getreide mahlten. Später wurden auch Sägemühlen errichtet. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde der Schleusenkanal errichtet, der die Umschiffung der Mühlen in der Spree ermöglichte. Um 1894 wurde wegen der größer werdenden Schiffe und des zunehmenden Schiffsverkehrs, die Mühlendammschleuse errichtet. Die heutige Doppelschleuse wurde 1936 errichtet.
Der Gendarmenmarkt gilt als der schönste Platz Berlins. In der Mitte das Konzerthaus und rechts und links der französische und der deutsche Dom. 1688 wurde der Platz nach Plänen von Johann Arnold Nering inmitten von Friedrichstadt angelegt. Kurfürst Friedrich III., der spätere König Friedrich I. siedelte hier die französischen Einwanderer (Hugenotten) an, die vor der französischen Revolution geflohen waren
