 He then designed a modern parish church and separate belfry, beside which the ruined spire of the old church would be preserved as a memorial.The new Gedächtniskirche was consecrated in 1961 and soon became the architectural pride of West Berlin and a memorial against war and destruction.The development of the square included the erection of the Zoo Palast cinema replacing the Ufa-Palast in 1956, the "Bikini-Haus" on the northern side finished in 1957 (named after its bare "midriff" on the second floor) and the "Schimmelpfeng-Haus" built in 1960 (now demolished) on the site of the old Gloria-Palast.
