Kapelle der Versöhnung, Lutheran church building in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany
The Chapel of Reconciliation features an oval structure with wooden columns surrounding an inner sanctuary constructed from pressed clay and recycled materials.
After the Berlin Wall divided the city in 1961, the original Church of Reconciliation stood isolated in the death strip until its demolition in 1985.
The chapel holds daily biographical devotions honoring 138 individuals who lost their lives attempting to cross the Berlin Wall during the Cold War.
Visitors can attend services from Tuesday to Friday at noon, with Saturday gatherings including the Coventry Litany of Reconciliation at the same time.
Fields of rye grow on both sides of the chapel, transforming the former death strip into agricultural land using seeds from the surrounding area.
