Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (left)
The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was built in honor of Emperor Wilhelm I and inaugurated on September 1, 1895. The original church building was constructed according to the designs of architect Franz Schwechten. After severe damage in World War II, the ruin of the old tower was preserved as a memorial. Between 1959 and 1961, a modern new building was erected next to the ruin, based on the plans of architect Egon Eiermann. Today, the Memorial Church is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks.
Berlin Radio Tower (right)
The Berlin Radio Tower was designed by architect Heinrich Straumer and opened in 1926. The 146.7-meter-high steel truss tower is located on the exhibition grounds in Berlin's Westend district. Originally, the radio tower was used for radio and television broadcasts, but it increasingly lost its technical significance from the 1980s onwards. Today, it is a protected monument and is primarily known as a landmark, observation tower, and restaurant.
