The church St. Thomas (German: Thomaskirche) is a Protestant church in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin. Friedrich Adler designed and built the church between 1865 and 1869.[1] The church was constructed in the shape of a Latin cross with two towers and a 56 metre high dome.[2]

Prior to the construction of the Berliner Dom, it was the largest church in Berlin with around 3,000 seats, and the congregation was one of the largest in Western Christendom.[3]
St. Thomas was partially damaged by an aerial bombardment on 22 November 1942.[4] The church’s eastern gallery and choir windows were completely destroyed.[5] The reconstruction occurred between 1956 and 1963 by Werner Retzlaffand Ludolf von Walthausen. The exterior of the church was reconstructed according to historical templates, while the interior underwent several changes.[5]
It is located directly between the Luisenstädtischer Kanal and Mariannenplatz, once a central location.[citation needed]
