The Luisenkirche (St. Louis Church) on Gierkeplatz in Charlottenburg was built between 1712 and 1716 according to plans by Philipp Gerlach and with the assistance of Martin Heinrich Böhme and is considered the oldest church in Charlottenburg. Between 1823 and 1826, Karl Friedrich Schinkel had the church rebuilt and a tower added; it was named in honor of Queen Luise, who died in 1810. The building was destroyed during the Second World War, rebuilt after the war from 1950 to 1956, and reconstructed inside in 1987/88, approximating Schinkel's original design.
