As part of the newly designed gardens surrounding Engelbecken, the Buddha sculpture was reconstructed in 1999. In 2001, an association was founded to support the conservation of St. Michael’s, which is still a ruin today. Engelbecken now functions as a lake – and is within walking distance of the church.

The Alevi Community of Berlin moved into the former building of the New Apostolic church in Kreuzberg. The community centre it had used previously at Lindower Straße in the district of Wedding was by then too small for its 1,500 members, and the new building was bought for 1.7 million deutschmarks. It was redesigned and has been used since then as a "cemevi" (meeting house or community centre). With its religious-cultural programme, it was the first of its kind in Germany.
