The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche) is a Protestant church at Breitscheidplatz on the Kurfürstendamm in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Berlin. The original church, built in the 1890s, was badly damaged in a 1943 bombing raid. Its damaged spire was retained and its ground floor converted into a memorial hall, while the present church, with an attached foyer and a separate belfry and chapel, was built between 1959 and 1963. Berliners nickname it "der hohle Zahn" ("the hollow tooth").
