To mark the 75th anniversary of the Basic Law, the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) is launching a series of services distributed across all 20 regional churches. It takes up the preamble and the first 19 articles, which set out fundamental rights. In each of the 20 Protestant regional churches, one of these 20 fundamental constitutional elements is discussed in a service.

In the two lower windows of the north wall to the left and right of the gallery stairs, 12 glass portraits of European reformers of the 16th century can be seen. They were donated in 1983 by the Evangelical Church of the Union to expand the one-sided selection of German protagonists of the Reformation made in the 19th century. The medallion-shaped portraits were created by the graphic artist Renate Brömme in grisaille painting based on historical models.
