Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

For those interested in history, this is a must-see. The church suffered serious damage during World War II and still stands. Several efforts have been made to restore the building, and to this day it is still undergoing renovations.

The architectural style belongs to the New Romanesque church. It is a new Romanesque building with Gothic elements, with mosaics, reliefs and sculptures, and it became a highlight and outstanding architectural work in the west of Berlin that was just built at the time.

The Church of Emperor William, a church near the Berlin Zoo, was originally a cross-shaped typical Gothic church, because the war was blown up, the remaining part is currently retained after restoration, and the spire is gone from the appearance. Walking inside you can see the mural on the top with obvious crack repairs, and there are models to see the original appearance of the church.

The Memorial Church of Emperor William is one of the remnants of World War II in Berlin. The church was destroyed on the night of November 22, 1943, leaving only the West End Bell Tower. The bombed spire of the bell tower, also known as the "broken-roof church", tells the story of that unforgettable period of history from the broken roof, which is a reminder of the war. Now a new octagonal church has been built beside the site for worship.

The trip to Berlin is worth it! It was a beautiful church. Berliners treasured it very much, but it was destroyed badly by a misdropped incendiary bomb (originally aimed at a nearby railway station). It turned into a dangerous building, but Berliners still held Mass in churches without roofs. They love it so much! When the government was going to knock down this dangerous building, Berliners objected. They wanted to keep it and their culture, but there were Nazis in the church where William II commemorated his grandfather, William I. They knocked it down, leaving only the bell tower and building an amazing modern church. Read ten thousand volumes and travel ten thousand miles. Come and see it. It will not disappoint you! __________

In the late 19th century, the German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the construction of a church in Berlin to commemorate his grandfather, the first emperor of the German Empire, William I, and named it the "King William Memorial Church".

In one of the most crowded places in the city centre, on the shopping street, it's very close to the zoo and the Cadilway Department Store. It's on foot. Nearby, there's one of the only two milk tea shops in Germany. The murals are very good, and they're still under maintenance.
