Devlog #3 St. Nicholas' Church



BUILDERS!


This time we want to bring you closer to one of really popular monument- St. Nicholas' Church.
Hamburg, as many German cities, was ravaged by World War II. You can see sometimes structures that pre-date the war and, then, lots of newer construction post-war. And there are structures that perhaps were not totally lost but repaired/re-constructed. But there are rarely any that remain as they were right when the war came to an end. Plain and simple record of how the city looked. St. Nicholas Church in the heart of Hamburg is one of those places that silently stand as a testimonial to the destruction of war, almost completely as it stood at the end of the war (minor repairs to the belltower).
Our model is based on the moment before it was destroyed by the bombs. You see, what we can see here are actually remains of rebuilded in 1870 church that went almost down in the fire in 1840. Fun fact is that at the moment of rebuilding it, the tower was the highest known edifice.
