The Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem is closely intertwined with the German Kaiser

INTRODUCTION

The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem was inaugurated on Reformation Day of 1898 in the presence of the German Kaiser Wilhelm II. In 1869 the Ottoman sultan had donated a portion of the "Muristan” to the Prussian royal family for building. The German Kaiser had the Church of the Redeemer built on the ruins of those of the Crusader-period Church of St. Maria Latina, to continue in its tradition.
