Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche Memorial Hall

Berlin, Germany view map

The 1906 spire is the only part of the original church that survived WW2. Its ground floor entrance hall is now used as a memorial hall. Its original vault ceiling mosaic depicts Prussian/German monarchs of the Hohenzollern dynasty.
In the foreground is the Coventry Cross, made from three nails recovered from the Coventry Cathedral, which was severely damaged by a German air raid in 1940.
During our visit, the spire is under renovation with its lower portion completely covered with scaffolds.
