Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche (Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church)
Built in 1895, destroyed in 1943 bombing, but the damaged spire and the vestibule which survived are preserved as a memorial. The outside is currently under restoration, and the scaffolding is covered with these panels which make it look like a modern office building, though the broken spire is sticking out of the top.
Mosaics on the walls and ceiling of the vestibule,
Marble statue of Christ which stood on the main altar and survived mostly intact.
Wittenbergplatz U-Bahn station (1902), one of the oldest and loveliest stations in the city.
Alte Nationalgalerie.
Market Gate from Miletus (2nd century AD), Pergamon Museum.
Model of Miletus, with the gate at the upper middle.
