Aktionstag im Museum Nikolaikirche

Let’s head to “Sunday in the Nikolaiviertel”! A colorful program awaits you on the first Sunday of every month. Free admission is available for everyone under 18 or eligible for a discount.

Discover eight hundred years of history and culture in Berlin’s oldest surviving church building! Since the Middle Ages, St. Nicholas Church has been the heart of the Nikolaiviertel and of Berlin. In the past, it was a place of worship. Today, as a museum, it tells the story of its architectural history, its history as a church, and the history of the city of Berlin.
 
Of particular interest to families is the model of the medieval twin cities of Berlin and Cölln. Here, children and adults can explore together which buildings from that era still exist and what the area looks like today.

On the event day, a guided tour of the permanent exhibition“Berlin’s Mitte”offers deeper insights into the history of the site. There are also two special exhibitions:“Fighting Over Stones?!”uses six video stations to explore the colonial past of Berlin’s St. Nicholas Church. “Who Held Power in the City?”explores the church, power, and coexistence before 1800 and offers new perspectives on seven objects on display in the permanent exhibition.
 
An audio guide for families takes visitors through the museum with exciting stories in German. Specifically for children, there is a museum scavenger hunt available in German, English, Turkish, Polish, and Arabic, illustrated by the Berlin-based comic artist Mawil.
