This church in Breitscheidplatz is a memorial to Kaiser Wilhelm, and one of Berlin’s most famous landmarks. Thick walls and plain decor mark it as neo-Romanesque, but with what’s left of the GedAchtniskirche, it’s tough to distinguish it as any one style. Allied bombing left only one tower standing on 22 November 1943, but a new location for worship designed by Egon Eiermann was completed in December 1961 (it’s the octagonal structure with blue stained glass windows). There is a small memorial museum beneath the tower filled with artifacts from the original church, which was built from 1891–95 to architect Franz Schwechten’s specifications.Controversy arose after the war over the various options presented by the half-ruined cathedral — should it be torn down completely and rebuilt? Or should the destroyed sections be left standing as a memorial? The four major sections of the Kaiser-Wilhelm GedAchtnis-Kirche (central space, foyer, new tower and chapel) surround the ruined tower of the old church bridge and show the time gap between old and new. Mosaics and other remnants from the old church serve as a monument against war.
