Audio tour · Berlin Cathedral

1:54

You're standing at Berlin Cathedral, by the Lustgarten on Museum Island. It's the largest Protestant church in Germany. And yet it isn't really a cathedral at all. No bishop has ever had his seat here. In German, the word Dom means something slightly different: that the church once had a college of canons.
