When Schinkel was commissioned to do the Friedrich-Werder church in Berlin, he presented alternative designs in Renaissance and Gothic styles. The king plumped for the latter and Schinkel carried out the work in brick between 1825 and 1828.
The two-tower fa�ade leads into an aisleless church with wall piers and retracted choir. In the execution of the brickwork and details, Schinkel followed the tradition of brick Gothic in northern Prussia, although adapting these in keeping with the times.
