I used to pass by this church in Kreuzberg every day on my way home. One night I finally went inside… and discovered something unexpected. ✨ The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, built in the 1880s and scarred by war, has been transformed into more than a place of worship. Today, it’s a community hub—hosting concerts, theater, neighborhood projects, and serving as a gay-friendly safe space in the heart of Berlin. 🏳️‍🌈 Inside, you’ll find Pandora’s Café—cozy tables, rainbow flags, and conversations flowing as naturally as the coffee. It’s one of those Kreuzberg spots where history, diversity, and openness meet under the same roof. 📍 Tip: The café is open evenings during events—check their program online before visiting. Best enjoyed with friends after a walk along Landwehrkanal. #BerlinKreuzberg #HiddenBerlin #PandorasCafe #HeiligKreuzKirche #queerberlin
