In memoriam Notre-Dame de Paris

In memoriam Notre-Dame de Paris
On Monday evening April 15, 2019, a major fire broke out while work was being carried out on the building. The sinister destroyed the roof of the cathedral, as well as the framework of the 13thC and the spire (96 m high). The same day, the President of the Republic announces that the cathedral will be rebuilt.

We became aware of this incident last night from the news. Sadness permeates the heart. I hope that after restoration the cathedral will become more strong and will stand for many years.

Yes, it was a huge shock when the news announced it, we could not believe it!! If you think that the cathedral survived the WW II, and now in 2019 it is partly destroyed.... The reconstruction will last many years.

Yes Andy, after what I understood, they already started a call for rebuilding. But it will last several years and will cost a fortune.... Happy Easter, Andy.

Yes, it's awful and the roof is now a like a huge wound (I saw drone's pictures). Many years will pass before Notre-Dame will be "healed". Have a nice Easter weekend, Diana.

Hi Christa

I really like this nice sunny picture. A happy memory!

I have visited Notre Dame on several occasions, and it means so much when it happens to a place you know and like. Good news is that nobody died, and the irreplaceable religious relics were saved.
You can destroy the building, but you can't destroy a church!

Best Wishes, and a good Easter weekend
Peter

PS, I have photos in my 'France' album

I followed the event closely - and speaking as a retired firefighter.. it is always a tragic loss....
[ but not as much as life ].... when fine buildings of this nature are severely damaged in fire.. it will be re-stored with skilled craftsmanship and any available original plans and drawings will be followed too.. I hope that there will be no ''modern ideas'' during restoration and the building will resemble the original when completed..

Christa1004 club has replied to David G Johnson club
Thanks David. Sure, it will be rebuild but never will be the same. I think the outer restoration will respect the former aspect, but probably the roof framing will be modern because they can never replace the "wooden forest" from the 13th C. like it was before...

ein trauriges Datum, das Einzug in die Geschichtsbücher finden wird. Wie der Aufbau gestaltet wird, werden wir in einiger Zeit sehen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass gut 10 Jahre vergehen werden, um alle Wunden zu heilen

Kommt darauf an, WIE sie die Kathedrale wieder aufbauen werden - gebrauchen sie z.B. moderne Materalien und Maschinen, dürfte es schneller gehen.

Ja Tanja, das dachten wir alle, am Anfang sah es schlimm aus. Aber glücklicherweise ist hauptsächlich "nur" der Dachstuhl verbrannt, doch der ist unersetzbar, aus dem 13. Jh. stammend....

Oui, très tragique! Cela prendra au moins 10 ans! Seulement jusqu'à ce que les responsables de monuments se soient mis d'accord sur une solution! Je le sais assez! :-]

Tu as raison polytropos, avant que tout le monde soit d'accord il faut sûrement un temps certain ! Et après seulement ils peuvent commencer la reconstruction..... Mais un jour elle sera comme avant, au moins de l'extérieur.
