Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche – Bombed church

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche (Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church) is one of the most famous landmarks in Berlin. Bombed during the second world war, the church has not been restored. It was built at the end of the 19th century to symbolise the unity of Prussia. Most parts of the church were destroyed in 1943, and only broken west tower is still standing.

During the 60s, a new octagonal church has been built next to the tower. The new church looks a little bit daunting outside, but once you go in, the light coming through all the pieces of blue glasses in the walls make the church a really magical experience.
