Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche
The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche is a Protestant church on Breitscheidplatz in Berlin, built in the 1890s in a Neo-Romanesque style by Franz Schwechten. The original building had a tall multi-towered silhouette with a dominant central spire; much of this original church was later destroyed in World War II and the ruined main tower was retained as a memorial. The site historically contained a large nave, extensive mosaics and a substantial organ gallery.

As it stood in 1895
What Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche looked like in its prime.
A massive Neo-Romanesque stone basilica in pale tuff with a dominant central tower rising above a complex of steep gables, pinnacles and rondels. The façade is carved with round-arched portals, clustered columns and blind arcading; two large gilded clock faces sit on the tower drum. Vaulted naves and wide arcades open behind the entrance; interior surfaces were extensively covered in large-format glass and stone mosaics, giving patterned colour across walls and vaults. Scale is monumental, tower exceptionally tall.
