A building in the heart of the city
Opened in 1905, Berlin Cathedral was badly damaged by bombing during the war. With its ith its blackened figures and makeshift dome, it looked like a relic of the past on the edge of Marx-Engels-Platz with its mass marches and military parades in the 1950s and 1960s.

Skizze Berliner Dom
In 1976, it was given a new neighbor in the form of the Palace of the Republic, in whose glass façade it was reflected. If it had been demolished, the foundations of the palace would also have been unbalanced, which can also be seen symbolically. Under Erich Honecker, state and church endeavored to achieve harmony. In the end, the cathedral was restored with Western help as part of the church building program and filled with new life.
