Versöhnungskirche, Gothic Revival church in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The church featured a 75-meter tower with a quadrangular base, red brick walls, and an octagonal roof structure atop the central building.
Built in 1894, the church stood in the death strip between East and West Berlin until 1985, when East German authorities ordered its demolition.
The congregation of 20,000 members split between East and West Berlin in 1961, marking the physical and social division of the city.
The current Chapel of Reconciliation, built in 2000, holds daily memorial services Tuesday through Friday at noon, reading biographies of Berlin Wall victims.
The new chapel incorporates crushed remnants of the original church into its rammed earth walls, which measure 60 centimeters thick and 7 meters high.
