 In 1934 the congregations of the New Church had united with that of Jerusalem's Church and have become - after further mergers - today's Evangelical Congregation in the Friedrichstadt (as of 2001).For services it uses the French Church on the opposite side of Gendarmenmarkt and "Luke's Church" in Berlin-Kreuzberg.In 1943 the New Church was almost completely destroyed in the bombing of Berlin in World War II and was subsequently rebuilt from 1977 to 1988.
