The church was unfortunately a victim of the politics of division during the cold war. The Bernauerstraße was on the border between East and West. While the church itself lay on the "East" side of the wall, most of the parishoners lived on the "West" side of the wall (actually to the North of the street itself). While the building stood as a symbol of the city's division for some time, in early 1985 the East German government decided it was time to remove the building for "security" reasons.
