The Ibn Rushd Goethe Mosque is a mosque opened in 2017 in an outbuilding of the Protestant Church of St. John in the Mitte district. The mosque owes its originality to the liberality of Islam preached there. Among the founders of the mosque are activists such as Seyran Ateş (women's rights activist), Saïda Keller-Messahli (human rights activist), Elham Manea (political scientist).
The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (also known as the Memorial Church) is a world-renowned monument in Berlin. Severely damaged during the Second World War, much of the ruins of the 19th century neo-Romanesque church were demolished in the 1950s. A new church was rebuilt (1959-1961) by Egon Eiermann, keeping part of the ruins as a reminder.
After the former Emperor Wilhelm Memorial Church (1891-1895, Franz Schwechten) in Berlin was destroyed during World War II, a competition for its reconstruction was announced. The new church was built between 1959 and 1961 by Egon Eiermann as a modern counterpart of the remains of the previous historistic building. The iconic architecture and the damaged bell tower of the former church are world-renowned symbols of peace and reconciliation.
