Weltbekannt als Wahrzeichen des Berliner Westens ist die Turmruine der im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörten neuromanischen Kirche, die heute ein Museum und Mahnmal für den Frieden ist. Ein großer Teil der Ruine wurde noch in den 1950er Jahren abgerissen und 1959 bis 1961 durch von Egon Eiermann entworfene Bauten samt einem neuen Kirchbau ergänzt.
Wünsche viel Spaß beim Stadtrundgang und in der Umgebung!
One of twelve stamps with the theme: The new Berlin from 1965
The original church on the site was built in the 1890s. It was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1943. The present building, which consists of a church with an attached foyer and a separate belfry with an attached chapel, 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.
I wish you a lot of fun during your visit here in Berlin and surrounding!
