The Gedächtniskirche is the symbolic center of West Berlin, an anti-war memorial to peace and reconciliation.
Following allied bombing during WWII, the original, west Tower has remained standing as a ruin and is hauntingly named the “hollow tooth” as it is literally an empty husk.
Immediately recognizable and located at the start of the busy shopping district which includes the Tauentzienstrasse and Ku’damm,
this is the only building on the square which was spared by the bombing and deliberately preserved as a part ruin. (source: Berlin Tourist Info)
