Description


The Berliner Dom or Berlin Cathedral has never been a cathedral in the actual sense of the term since it has never been the seat of a bishop. The current building was constructed for 11.5 million Mark, paid for by the state. It was inaugurated on 27 February 1905. The Dom is 114 m (374-ft) long, 73 m (240-ft) wide and 116 m (381-ft) tall. It was much larger than any previous building and was considered a Protestant counterweight to St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. In 1940 the blast waves of Allied bombing blew part of the windows away. On 24 May 1944, a bomb of combustible liquids entered the roof lantern of the Dome. The fire could not be extinguished at that unreachable section of the dome. So the lantern burnt out and collapsed into the main floor. Between 1949 and 1953 a temporary roof was built to enclose the building. In 1975 reconstruction started, simplifying the building's original design and tearing down the northern wing (the memorial hall). In 1980 the baptistery and wedding church was reopened for services. The restoration of the nave was begun in 1984. On 6 June 1993 the nave was reinaugurated in an event attended by Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl and televised nationwide in Germany (Source: Wikipedia).

One of my favorite motifs in Berlin. ha ha and the television tower peeping through between. I think you liked it in Berlin. And you could win a lot of new impressions. An imposing architecture. Klasse picture!!! (even if he seems a bit narrow?)
