The Berlin architects Rudolf Reitermann") and Peter Sassenroth") were commissioned to design the chapel. Wooden columns were used for the outer oval wall, which recreates the shape of the chapel's predecessor, and the inner oval of the chapel is made of pressed clay and follows the usual east-west orientation of churches. The chapel was built in 1999 under the direction of Austrian clay artist Martin Rauch. "Volunteers from Open Houses" (a German charity founded in 1989 that specializes in the conservation of endangered historical monuments in eastern Germany, with the help of foreign volunteers) came from fourteen countries in Eastern and Western Europe to support the construction project. To build the walls, 30 cm of wet clay was placed and then compressed by 8 cm, giving strength to the wall structure. Within the clay, pieces of stone and even glass are seen and these come from the rubble of the previous church. It is the first public building built of clay to be built in more than 150 years in Germany and the first German church built of clay. On November 9, 2000, the eleventh anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Chapel of Reconciliation was consecrated.

The chapel unites architectural and ecological modernity with memory, standing as a triumph over the destruction of its predecessor. Its commemorative and reconciliation functions are recognized because the chapel forms part of the Gedenkstaette Berliner Mauer (Berlin Wall Monument) and is included in the Community of the Nailed Cross of Coventry Cathedral: a global symbol of reconciliation and peace. The chapel also has a replica of the Coventry Cathedral Statue of Reconciliation, a gift from the Cathedral which is also found in Hiroshima and Belfast, also sites emerging from destructiveness of war.

After helping with construction, Open Houses has continued its involvement with the chapel. Every year volunteers from around the world work in the chapel and help the parish with its work.
