Standing at the eastern end of Ku'Damm is the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche – the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church – built originally between 1891 and 1895 in honour of Emperor William I. It was almost destroyed in WWII, on 3 November 1943, and what remains of the building has been incorporated into a new eight-sided church with a separate hexagonal tower, designed by the architect Egon Eiermann and built between 1959 and 1963. |
