The church was named in memory of the Transfiguration of Jesus, which allegedly took place on Mount Tabor הר תבור in today's Israel.

Due to the high number of new parishioners moving in at the beginning of the 20th century the congregation decided to build an additional church in # 48, Schönblicker Straße, in the then newly developed quarter of Wilhelmshagen (today's 12589 Berlin-Wilhelmshagen).

Northerly attached to the nave is a massive tower of a rectangular groundplan, topped by a squat spire, covered with shingles of slate.

The main entrance in the tower is topped by a tympanon, decorated with putti symbolising the theological virtues of Faith, Love (Charity), and Hope.

The Jugendstil furnishings by Albert Klingner comprise an altarpiece depicting the Transfiguration of Jesus (1911) and a tableau of the Four Evangelists John, Luke, Mark, and Matthew accompanied by scenes from the Old Testament.
