St. Georgen, Wismar

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgenkirche_(Wismar)

One of three monumental brick gothic churches in Wismar, St. Georgen was first mentioned in the mid 13th century. In its current form it mainly dates from 1404-1594, the spire was never finished.
In April 1945 St.Georgen was badly damaged by bombs and deteriorated further over the years. After the northern transsept collapsed in 1990, the church underwent extensive stabilization, repair and reconstruction which was finished in 2010. Since then it is also in use as a concert venue.

Schönen Dank, Uwe! Solche Kirchen sind Dauerbaustellen, sind sie am einen Ende fertig, geht's am anderen von vorne los- auch im Westen;-)

Und ich dachte schon, das ist ein café...also messwein während des konzerts? ;-) In KA gab's sowas mal sowas ähnliches, ein restaurant zwischen halbverfallenen kirchenmauern. Keine ahnung, ob es noch existiert.

Diese Q2 muss genial sein. Aber noch besser ist die Fotografin hinter der Q2.

Hi Gudrun
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very interesting construction being built of bricks. The bricklayers did a grand job!
And why not use it for concerts too.. The church is here for everyone!!!
Best Wishes, HWW, and stay safe!!

A beautiful series Gudrun.............the choice of brickwork for a church interior on this scale seems pretty unusual to me..........but it works very well, especially the colours. The light in all three images is gorgeous and as always your exposure is spot on. I especially like view of the ceiling in the second PiP, which is stunning!

Top notch 10/10
