Schillerdenkmal und Stiftskirche (PiP)

Schillerdenkmal und Stiftskirche (PiP)
Saturday Self Challenge: History
Statue of poet Friedrich Schiller by Thorvaldsen (1839) in front of Stiftskirche.
Remains of a small 10th or 11th century Romanesque church were found where Gothic Stiftskirche now stands. Typically for gothic churches the original 14th century building was enlarged and altered over the centuries. In 1944 the church was destroyed by allied bombs and outwardly reconstructed in 1950 though the interiour was kept relatively plain and austere.

Die Stuftskirche hat 2 unterschiedliche Türme. Das Nachtbild ist aus anderer Perspektive, da ist der andere Turm im Bild.

I love seeing the different views of the church. Nice tribute to Schiller as well. I had to read Die Räuber at the university many years ago.

Thank you, Harriet! We did "Die Räuber" at school and I remember our theatre excursion to see Claus Peymann's production in Stuttgart- especially the smell of the autumn leaves the stage was covered wth;-)

Lovely image - you've captured the statue and building with a nice composition! It's a shame that whenever there's a war, historic structures such as this are always targeted.

Gudrun club has replied to HaarFager club
Thank you, Kenny! Yes, it's a shame- sometimes just "collateral damage" and sometimes explicitely targeted. Here they had at least evacuated some of the artwork before the bombs hit.
