Here is a look at the remains of Sankt-Michael-Kirche in Mitte. Unfortunately, the church was badly damaged during the war and has never been fully restored, although parts of the building are still used. Sadly it wasn't open when I visited, but you can read more about the church here. Don't forget to take a look at Rubbish Tuesday for more old stuff.
Interesting solution to the problem. Is there any chance it will one day be restored?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it... it's sort of nice the way it is though. But I find it annoying that many German churches aren't open.
Deletelooks beautiful from here!
ReplyDeleteEine sehr schöne Kirche unterm strahlend blauen Himmel!
ReplyDeleteEven in this state, it's breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will be back one day when it is open.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's only open for services, so the chances of me visiting are slim! ;-)
DeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteYour colors are remarkably rich, Halcyon. How was the golf vacation?
ReplyDeleteThe vacation was exhausting, but fun. My golf is still not where I'd like it to be, but hopefully will improve!
DeleteWhat a beautiful church
ReplyDeleteVery sunny shot. Perhaps a little to much sun.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I boosted the saturation.

ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame that so much was damaged during the war: homes, schools, churches, lives....
ReplyDeleteSo true...
DeleteA wonderful light, the church looks very beautiful from this angle!
ReplyDeleteYour photo does the outside justice though.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look damaged at all! Gorgeous building. And I like your photo with all the sunshine and the greenery.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the day could have been better for capturing a photo of this church. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely, sacred building going to waste.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely old building!! I am surprised that they have left some of it as ruins, and kept other parts in use. A special sort of War Memorial!!
ReplyDeleteIt'sa beautiful church...sad that it was damaged in the war.
ReplyDeleteNice green leaves too! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat's left looks clean and cared for. How ironic that it's not been rebuilt despite that. In a way I suppose we need to be reminded of all that war spoils.
