The ruin of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was badly damaged in a bomb attack in 1943. It was not rebuilt as a reminder of the World War II [2447×3489] OC
This was so sobering to see in person. Germany has been rebuilt since the war, so it’s hard for us to imagine the devastation. Even a small glimpse like this made a huge impression on me.

And the new church, built next to it (on both sides), is one of the most hiddious buildings I have ever seen… Such a shame.

I love it when they do that, it really makes the history resonate. In Hiroshima I remember standing at the building where the bomb hit and just taking it all in. It’s so sobering to see the remnants of a building like that.
