What you'll see
The broken spire of a 19th-century church, kept as a ruin, beside a modern octagonal church whose walls are made of thousands of small blue glass panes that glow inside.
A brief history
Bombed in 1943, the old church was left standing as a reminder of the war; the new church went up beside it around 1960 after Berliners protested plans to clear the ruin.
