Memorial Church on Berlin's Ku'damm

Took the S-Bahn to Berlin's Ku'damm yesterday. Upon arrival, I was confused because the landmark Memorial Church (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche) was nowhere to be found.

I was certain I was at the correct location, but the building simply wasn't there. What the heck???

Finally, I figured out the Church is under repair and is covered by a temporary glass and steel facade, making it appear to be a modern (agreeably ugly) office building. Cover will be removed when repairs are complete in 2012.

Until next time!
