Germany - Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

The original Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche was built in the late 19th century, but was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1943.

The new building - church, foyer and a separate belfry - was built between 1959 and 1963. The damaged spire of the old church has been retained and its ground floor has been made into a memorial hall.

The new church is constructed of concrete, steel and glass. The walls of the are made of a concrete honeycomb, containing 21.292 stained glass inlays with a predominant blue colour. The crucifixus, which is suspended above the altar, is made from so called tombak.
