Hotel IndigoJanuary 27, 2014Begun in 1891, all that remains of the original church after it was bombed in 1943 is the old tower, the “Hollow Tooth.” The new church comprises four buildings in addition to the tower.
Domnule ObzenJuly 18, 2015The whole story about this church is very sad. The art is gorgeous and you must visit this church. Not only that, but the neighborhood is amazing.- Bình HàDecember 13, 2015This is my favourite church in Berlin because Berliner know best how to keep their scars and learn from it. Not many know how to.The new contemporary chruch is delightful & rich in character as well.
Phat BuoyOctober 23, 2014Quite a sight to see this monument - read the history of the bombed out church on the ground floor. The blue tinted stained glass box opposite looks impressive inside - worth popping in
Liesbeth Van VyncktApril 29, 2019Can’t wait for the restauration of the blue church to be done! Still gorgeous to see the remnants of the war-bombed ‘lipstick’ next to the new, blue-windowed ‘powder box’ - make sure you enter!
- Christopher WilliamsJuly 8, 2017Old church structure is very interesting and new modern church is strikingly peaceful and beautiful with its deep ocean blue windows -- don't skip the modern building
johnlemonJune 6, 2017The church is quite interesting to see. Make sure you come early to see the new one, some afternoons they have concerts. Lovely neighborhood!
Mike CrownJune 13, 2022Impressive to see how history is integrated into the modern city centre. And right across the street you find the best Currywurst in town at Curry Wolf! If you come here, make sure to try them out! 😍
MrWhiteman ReviewsAugust 23, 2014Go inside the new hexagram church on a sunny day - the light shines though blue glass windows. Very beautiful.
thpsychoFebruary 8, 2016Beautiful church. Sad to learn its history but at least part of it still stands for it to be restored despite the bombing.
John BarnhamOctober 19, 2014The clock lights up as part of the Festival of Lights. It gives a fun twist to one of the preserved monuments of West Berlin.
Frau Coco LoresAugust 9, 2015The Berliners call it "Der hohle Zahn". One of the various landmarks in the City West.
DHR.comNovember 24, 2011This protestant church is a great piece of history where you'll see reminders of the war. Do not miss the Memorial Hall at the church's west tower to see some exhibits about the church's history.
Mmle BlaséDecember 18, 2015Had the chance to watch a presentation of Mozart's Requiem just across the church. Absolutely exquisite.
- Roman LackoOctober 24, 2017Very important historic site with very sad story. Also do not miss modern church building nearby.
Hanneke FialkaFebruary 26, 2017As a memorial, it's a very important historic site. We had the luck the organ was being played. With kids: in a short time you've seen it all;)
Dewi Sander - SoerodongsoDecember 28, 2012Beautiful organ music around 16:30. Nice for relaxing after an intense day of exploring!
- Halynka LirnykMarch 27, 2016Impressive new church with blue windows and the form from the church. So minimalistic
Vincent VelemaNovember 1, 2011The church is being restored at the moment, so the monument is encapsulated, not that interesting, though the blues glasses church is nice
- Louise HApril 14, 2012The new tower looks boring at daytime but lights up at nighttime. (The old tower is being restored right now - but when it's visible they are an odd couple!)
James DavisSeptember 28, 2012The old tower is currently scaffolded an under renovations. A big let down!
Göran NitscheOctober 24, 2014Die #Kaiser #Wilhelm #Gedächtnis #Kirche. Auch wenn das ursprüngliche #Gebäude nicht mehr so recht steht nach #Zerstörung 1943 ist die #Gedenkhalle sehr beeindruckend!
