This church was vandalized for 8 days following the occupation of Berlin. Most of the tombs of former German emperors and princes desecrated. At the right can be seen the towering St. Mary’s Church, one of the oldest sanctuaries in Brandenburg Provinces, and one of the mostly lightly [sic] damaged of the Berlin churches. Provost Heinrich Grueber, who is Protestant Counsellor in the Berlin City Government, is pastor of St. Mary’s. Domprediger Dr. ____Doehring standing amid the ruins of the Dom, Berlin’s Protestant Cathedral. Dr. Doehring, who is still active in German church affairs, was the Kaisers’ pastor before World War I. During the Nazi regime he resisted efforts of the Hitlerites to “Nazify” the Christian Church. Services of the Dom parish are now held in a hall, as are most of church services in Berlin.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: REOPENED AS GERMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL #C-4870 BERLIN -- Famed Ettal Cloister, a magnificent Catholic monastery high in the Bavarian mountains founded in 1330 by Emperor Ludvig, has been reopened as a school to train teachers as part of the long range de-Nazification policy now in effect in Germany.
