Bonhoeffer
Until I went looking for apartments in the neighborhood I had no idea that Zionskirche, at the top of a mild slope that turns out to be the "highest natural point in Berlin," was Dietrich Bonhoeffer's church in the early 30s. After 1933 Bonhoeffer resisted not just the Nazis but eventually the whole Lutheran establishment, by arguing for Hitler's assassination and even helping with a famous failed plot.
I took a snapshot of the Bonhoeffer plaque, but there's also a brass memorial in the churchyard.
