Bombed during World War II, the remains of the original Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church were integrated into the new Memorial Church, completed 1961.

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is a Romanesque Revival styled church which was designed by the German Emperor Wilhelm II in honor of his grandfather Wilhelm I.

In 1943, the air raids wrecked the church. In 1950, the Allies planned to demolish the whole temple, but the West Germans protested and finally a new church was designed. However, the citizens protested again, and it was finally decided to integrate the ruined church into the new temple.

The new church has a modern chapel (called New Church) with blue windows that reflect a beautiful light in its interior.
The rear of the building houses an octagonal edifice with bluecolored windows, built as a bell tower in 1960. It is now a souvenir store.
The Berliners have nicknamed the church “hollow tooth”.  

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is currently one of the most compelling landmarks in Berlin. Its peculiar ruined spire is both charming and sad at the same time and transmits its objective perfectly: to remind all its visitors of the damages caused by a war.
