Plans to tear down remains of the World War II war-bombed Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, one of Berlin's best loved landmarks, were balked by popular sentiment in 1957. The church's board of trustees had approved a proposal to demolish the church to make room for a modern style structure. But they changed their minds after announcement of their plans created a storm of protest in which even a Communist East Berlin newspaper joined. They compromised by saying they would retain the war-blackened, 350-feet high tower and probably erect a small church adjacent to it. The Protestant church was dedicated in 1897 to Kaiser Wilhelm I, who died in 1888. (RNS archive photo. Photo courtesy of the Presbyterian Historical Society.)
