George Bähr had arranged the pulpit – the typically elevated place for the sermon – centrally in the choir screen of the Frauenkirche from where it projects into the nave like a boat's bow. All worshippers were thus able to focus on the place where the gospel was preached.
 
Due to acoustic problems, however, a second pulpit was erected on the northern pier of the chancel as early as 1738. This second pulpit was not reconstructed because it did not feature in George Bähr's original design while sound problems in modern churches can be remedied by using a microphone system.
