Background：
The Berlin Cathedral (German: Berliner Dom), with a history dating back to the 15th century, began as a Roman Catholic place of worship. It is also called the Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church. Situated on Museum Island in central Berlin, it serves as a significant Protestant church and the dynastic tomb (House of Hohenzollern).
The cathedral’s origins trace back to a chapel in the Berlin Palace, with several buildings serving as the church site since the 15th century. The current Collegiate Church was constructed under Emperor Wilhelm II’s orders between 1894 and 1905, based on Julius Raschdorff’s designs, featuring Renaissance and Baroque Revival styles. This protected building is Germany's largest Protestant church and one of Europe's most important dynastic tombs. Besides church services, the cathedral hosts state ceremonies, concerts, and other events.
