You're standing in front of a striking example of modern church architecture. Notice the freestanding bell tower rising gracefully beside the church. It's part of a thoughtfully designed complex by architect Karl Otto. The church was inaugurated in the spring of 1968. That year was significant, as it was when Martin Luther King, the church's namesake, was assassinated. The complex includes not only the church but also a community center with numerous rooms and a daycare facility, making it a vibrant place of faith and community in Berlin's Gropiusstadt.
