About Berlin Cathedral
Berlin Cathedral, called Berliner Dom in German, is a Protestant church and the dynastic tomb of the House of Hohenzollern. It stands at the Lustgarten on Museum Island in central Berlin. The church building dates from 1894 to 1905 and was ordered by Emperor William II. Julius Raschdorff drew up the plans, which combine Renaissance and Baroque Revival styles. No other Protestant church in Germany is larger, and it ranks as one of Europe's most important dynastic tombs.
The church started out as a chapel of the Berlin Palace, and several structures have housed it since the 15th century. The cathedral is made up of the large Sermon Church in the center, the Hohenzollern crypt, which covers almost the whole basement, plus a Baptismal and Matrimonial Church, which is smaller, on the south side. East German authorities demolished a section on the north side, the Memorial Church, in 1975. The cathedral was damaged by Allied bombing in World War II, and its original interior was restored by 2002.
Besides church services, the building hosts state ceremonies, concerts and other events. Despite its name, it is not a cathedral in the strict sense, because no bishop has ever had his seat there. The German word Dom denotes a collegiate church, and it has become the usual German term for a cathedral.

- A ribbed dome and slim cross
- The central dome is ribbed and ends in a slim lantern and cross. Printing slowly and using layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the curve smooth and the tip crisp.
- Four small domed turrets
- Small domed turrets stand around the base of the main dome. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps more of their open detail, which suits a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- Berlin Cathedral is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
