The German Church has absolutely stunning stained glass windows
when looking from inside out. Has been used on Songs of Praise, the
BBC TV programme. Church isnt usually open though to public.
Forest Hill, Sydenham and Crystal Palace housed one of the major
German communities in London, composed mostly of wealthy merchants,
with a sprinkling of musicians and artists. The German Evangelical
Church was founded in temporary accommodation in 1875, and the
church was built in 1883. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was the pastor from
1933 to 1935 and the church was named after him at the end of World
War II. It was bombed during the war, and rebuilt.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I
would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he
can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication.
