In 1891 the emperor William II gave the order for the construction of this church. He wanted to dedicate the building to the emperor William I, his grandfather. The church, in neo-norman style and sumptuously fitted out, was terribly damaged during the war. Just a few remnants remained (mosaïcs). In the 1960s Egon Eiermann constructed a conspicuous new complex around the old ruins.
