Traffic Lights at Potsdamer
Replica of original traffic lights at Potsdamer Platz, Berlin. The original lights were installed here in 1882! I took two photos, one in daylight and one at night. The red and white tent in the foreground is one of the Christmas stalls at Potsdamer Platz.

Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church Clock
I took these photos of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church at night time without a tripod so they are a bit grainy.
There are four clocks, one on each side of the tower but the clock is only lit up on one side.
The church is located in Kurfürstendamm, Berlin. It was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1943. The church has been restored, but one side has been left in it's ruined state as a memorial.
At the bottom of this photo you can see the stalls from the Christmas market. The church was surrounded by the stalls.
In this photo you can see the difference between the clock that has been lit up and the other clocks. The damaged part of the tower can also be seen.Location: 52°30'17.54"N 13°20'6.44"E
St Marienkirche, Berlin
St Marienkirche (St Mary's Church) is a 14th century church. It is located close to Alexanderplatz in Berlin on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße.
The church is Protestant (since the Reformation in 1539). It was damaged during World War II but has now been restored.
Martin Luther King preached here on one occasion and there is now a statue of him outside the church.
There was a lot of fog, but if you look at the carefully you can see Fernsehturn (TV Tower) in the back ground.
