• The Sankt Agneskirche at 118 Alexandrinenstraße in Berlin-Kreuzberg was inaugurated in 1967. It is a modern church building, designed by Werner Düttmann. In 1992 the Stockmann firm completed a new organ for the church. Consultant was Martin Ludwig. The prospect has been designed by Richard Stencel. The new organ was inaugurated on April 12, 1992. After the mass, Martin Ludwig and Bernhard Döring played the inaugurational concert.
  
• In 2004 the church was decommissioned as a parish church. The building has since been used by the Citykirche Berlin, but was sold in 2011 and then taken into use by a private individual. The organ was transferred to the Sankt Bonifatiuskirche in 2011. The Walcker organ from 1964 present here has been sold to a church in Glogów in Poland. During the transfer to the Sankt Bonifatiuskirche, the Hintersatz 4 fach on the pedal was replaced by a Trompete 8'. The existing accessories have been replaced by a modern Setzer installation with 4000 combination options.
  
• The Sankt Bonifatiuskirche is a new-Gothic church building with two towers, designed by Max Hasak and built in the years 1906-1907. The church building replaced a small emergency church from 1894, which stood at 100 Gneisenaustraße. The Röver organ may have been transferred from this church in 1907. The church burned down completely in 1944-1945, as a result of which the interior has been lost.
