Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church
Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche52°30′ N 13°20′ E
The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church suits a quiet half-hour away from the Breitscheidplatz market that rings it, and the trade-off is that the memorial hall exhibition in the old tower is closed for renovation from 29 August 2026. The new church opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00 outside services.
The ensemble pairs the ruined tower of the 1890s church with Egon Eiermann's new church, and the Christmas market fills the square around both. Step inside the new church for a few minutes of quiet between the stalls. On Sundays the 10:00 service brings organ music on the big Schuke organ and often a guest choir.
Worth knowing
- Use the east ramp near the Weltbrunnen for the easiest step-free way up.
