The Garnisonkirche, a masterpiece of North German Baroque architecture, was constructed between 1730 and 1735 by architect Philipp Gerlach under the commission of King Frederick William I. Standing nearly 90 meters tall, its tower defined the city's skyline alongside the Nikolaikirche and Heiliggeistkirche. Severely damaged in World War II, the ruins were demolished in 1968. Since 2017, the tower has been undergoing a controversial reconstruction.
