Memorial church Memorial church No Data

Description


Almost totally destroyed in an air raid towards the end of WWII the remains of this church have been left, partly as a reminder. It is now surrounded totally by late 20th Century shopping malls and office blocks and has more of an effect than any of the other monument can do to the pointlessness and destruction of war. During the Christmas period one of the city's main Christmas Markets is located here. This was the scene, in 2016, of a truck attack and the memorial church has now taken on an additional site of memorial to the victims of that attack.
