As it stood in 1905

What Berlin Cathedral looked like in its prime.

A massive stone Neo‑Renaissance façade topped by a broad central copper‑clad dome with smaller flanking cupolas and a gilded lantern and cross; rusticated ashlar walls, tall Corinthian columns and pediments, large arched portals with bronze statuary, and sculptural groups at drum level. The dome and cupolas show verdigris green roofs, the stonework a weathered beige‑grey, and a wide flight of steps leads up from the Lustgarten to the main entrance.
