Inside the new Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

Berlin, Germany

in 1961 a new, octagonal church designed by Egon Eiermann was built alongside the existing tower.
The church is a reinforced concrete structure with blue-colored glass bricks.

It is an amazing experience to come out of the buzzing shopping area at the Kurfuerstendamm
to sit in this quiet stark church to be surrounded by the prisms of blue glass. The color and dim light have a soothing and healing effect.
