The Chapel of Reconciliation in Berlin, Germany, is a significant architectural and historical landmark. Situated on the former "death strip" of the Berlin Wall, the chapel was completed in the year 2000, replacing the original Church of Reconciliation that was destroyed in 1985. Designed by architects Reitermann and Sassenroth, the new chapel features a unique oval structure made primarily of clay and timber, symbolizing renewal and peace. The site also serves as a place of remembrance, commemorating the division of Berlin and the reconciliation efforts that followed the fall of the Wall.
