The Memorial Church of Emperor William is one of the remnants of World War II in Berlin. The church was destroyed on the night of November 22, 1943, leaving only the West End Bell Tower. The bombed spire of the bell tower, also known as the "broken-roof church", tells the story of that unforgettable period of history from the broken roof, which is a reminder of the war. Now a new octagonal church has been built beside the site for worship.

    For those interested in history, this is a must-see. The church suffered serious damage during World War II and still stands. Several efforts have been made to restore the building, and to this day it is still undergoing renovations.

    The architectural style belongs to the New Romanesque church. It is a new Romanesque building with Gothic elements, with mosaics, reliefs and sculptures, and it became a highlight and outstanding architectural work in the west of Berlin that was just built at the time.

    The Church of Emperor William, a church near the Berlin Zoo, was originally a cross-shaped typical Gothic church, because the war was blown up, the remaining part is currently retained after restoration, and the spire is gone from the appearance. Walking inside you can see the mural on the top with obvious crack repairs, and there are models to see the original appearance of the church.

    In the late 19th century, the German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the construction of a church in Berlin to commemorate his grandfather, the first emperor of the German Empire, William I, and named it the "King William Memorial Church".

    It's under construction now, but you can go inside.

    The Cathedral of William was built in the 19th century to commemorate the first German emperor, but it was destroyed during World War II. A new church was built next to the memorial. The new church was beautifully lit when it entered. This is where nine people were killed in last year's terrorist attacks. There are many flowers beside them to mourn.

    Berlin, Germany (6). Emperor William Memorial Church. Founded in 1891 - 1895, William II commemorated the death of his grandfather (the first emperor of Germany). The head of the church disappeared and was blown up during World War II. The 113-metre-high tower of the church is only 68 metres high. Now the wreckage remains as it used to be.
