St.Michaelis Church (known as Michel to the HAMBURGERS) is the newest of Hamburg's main churches. It is a city landmark towering 132 metres with magnificent views over the city from the viewing platform below the dome. It has undergone many transformations. The first church built in 1649-61 was destroyed on 1750 by a strike of lightening; the second (built in 1750-62\0 burned to the ground in 1906. With the help of numerous donations, it was completely r built in 1907-1912.

The viewing platform can be reached by 452 steps or a lift. Guess which we used.

Sometimes using the stairs is even faster than using the lift, as the lift only closes (and starts) when one of the passengers pushes a button, which some people forget to do ...

A classic Michel-photo! For me the lift every time, enough steps to get to the lift;-)

A lovely old church, the lift would be a welcome surprise (for a building of that age) to get up!

A lovely composition, Amelia. I love the slightly muted colours; one would almost say pastel shades.

I have been in Hamburg, but I don't recall seeing this church.

Cheers,

Joe

We went to Hamburg to meet a group of ex-Pan now Ipernians, Joe. It is an amazing city with marvellous transport links, and of course we were guided by at least 3 native Hamburgers, so we got to see lots of different things. This church tower can be seen from many parts of the city. You probably did see it.
