Ko doing another fine astro shot with some staffage ;-) --------------------------------- Der Hildesheimer Dom St. Mariä Himmelfahrt ist die Kathedrale des römisch-katholischen Bistums Hildesheim in Hildesheim. Der erste Dombau an dieser Stelle entstand 872. Die Gebäude und Kunstschätze gehören seit 1985 gemeinsam mit der Michaeliskirche zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO. ( Wikipedia ) -------------------------------------------------------- Hildesheim Cathedral (German: Hildesheimer Dom), officially the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary (German: St. Mariä Himmelfahrt), is a medieval Catholic cathedral in Hildesheim, Germany, that has been on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list since 1985, together with the nearby St. Michael's Church. The cathedral church was built between 1010 and 1020 in the Romanesque style. It follows a symmetrical plan with two apses, that is characteristic of Ottonian Romanesque architecture in Old Saxony. The cathedral's treasures include world-famous artworks, bronzeworks from the time of Bishop Bernward, Bernward Doors and Bernward Column, as well as two of the four notable Romanesque wheel chandeliers: the Hezilo chandelier and the Azelin chandelier. After renovations and extensions in the 11th, 12th and 14th centuries, the cathedral was completely destroyed during an air raid on 22 March 1945, and rebuilt from 1950 to 1960. A thorough renovation of the cathedral began in 2010, including technical and conservation measures. Some of the cathedral's treasures have been shown further afield, including at an exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The cathedral was reopened on 15 August 2014.
