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.
