There's a picture of the outside of the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in the booklet. Here's another, courtesy of Wikipedia:
I haven't looked into this myself, but the booklet suggests that most of the Karajan/BPO recordings for DG continued to be made at the Jesus-Christus-Kirche, even after the opening of the Philharmonie. The 70's Beethoven cycle may have been an exception (?).
(BTW, I just ordered the blu-ray audio incarnation of the 70's 9th yesterday - it will be interesting to compare it to the 60's recording.)
