St. Michael
St Michael's Church was built between 1851 and 1859 and is, together with St Edwige's Cathedral (1743-1777), the oldest Catholic church in Berlin. King Frederick William IV of Prussia authorised the construction of a second Catholic church in Berlin as a garrison church for Catholic soldiers, dedicated to St Michael, the patron saint of the army. On 3 February 1945, an Anglo-American air raid completely destroyed the Luisenstadt district and the church burned down. The nave is still without a roof and worship takes place in the transept.
