This landmark structure was built in 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian war. Today we could see bullet marks probably left there during bombardments in WWII.



    The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was bombed in WWII and left in its state after the war as a constant reminder of the destructions of it. Beside it is a new chuch and memorial hall.
