Description:
My first thought on seeing the ruined Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was why haven't they restored it? It is right in the center of the city on what is Berlin's Fifth Avenue, the Kurfurstendam. Then, it occurred to me that they were going to keep it as a memorial to the bombing of Berlin. It is a very imposing structure--even in ruins. I believe the plan now is to restore it leaving one tower a ruin.
