German President Inaugurates Controversial Rebuilt Church Tower

The Garrison Church in Potsdam, linked to Nazi history, reopens amid debates on its symbolism and relevance.

President Frank-Walter Steinmeier emphasizes reflection on Germany's complex past.
The church, originally built in the 1730s, was a pivotal site during the Nazi rise to power.
Opponents view the reconstruction as a symbol of militarism and far-right ideology.
Supporters aim to use the site for critical historical education and peace advocacy.
Recent far-right political gains in Germany heighten the significance of the church's reopening.
