Church of the Redeemer

The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer is the second Protestant church in Jerusalem. Built on land given to King William I of Prussia (after 1870 Kaiser Wilhelm I) in 1869 by Sultan Abdülaziz of the Ottoman Empire, the church was constructed from 1892 to 1898. The church currently houses Lutheran congregations that worship in Arabic, German, Danish, and English.

The archaeological park Durch die Zeiten ('Through the centuries') below the nave of the Church of the Redeemer, opened in 2012, offers the possibility to experience more than 2000 years of history of the city of Jerusalem by walking through it. The adjoining cloister of the vicarage maintains a museum for more information and exhibits on the city's history.
