The Allied bombing of Berlin in World War II inflicted severe damages on Capernaum Church.
In May 1944 the church completely burnt out to the outside walls, in February 1945 the main tower was also hit and burnt out.

Starting in 1952 the architect Fritz Berndt began the reconstructions, accomplished by architect Günter Behrmann until 1959.
The structures were simplified, the rose window was replaced by three biforium windows, while the main tower now bears a steep gable roof.
The gable towards Seestraße was simplified due to the new simple gable roof, covering the main nave, the side naves carry catslide roofs, thus the nave to Antwerpener Straße lost its spire lights.
The church was re-inaugurated on the occasion of the feast of Evangelical New Year (so-called First Sunday of Advent) on 29 November 1959.
