The Protestant Martin Luther Memorial Church in Berlin's Mariendorf district is an architectural monument and testimony of a special kind. It was built between 1933 and 1935 on the basis of long-standing plans. In the design of the interior, state and ecclesiastical symbolism were mixed, as can still be seen today. For this reason, since around 2004, when the church hit the headlines due to its poor state of construction, the church has occasionally been referred to as a "Nazi church" in the press. The community itself sees the remnants of this design in the Zeitgeist of 1933 as a memorial and memorial.
