Кёнигсбергский Кафедральный собор Калининград.
Currently on the South side adjacent to the Cathedral site, the so-called "Bishop's square", there is the grave and tombstone of Julius Rupp (1809-1884), the founder of the "Free Catholic-Evangelical community", leader of the democratic movement of 40-ies of the XIX century, member of the Prussian Parliament in 1849-1862., native grandfather of the famous revolutionary artist K. Kollwitz. Many students J. Rupp became active social Democrats. In the North tower of the Cathedral in 1650 Chancellor Martin von Wallenrodt founded vallenrod's library. It consisted of about 10 thousand volumes, and occupied one room. In this library were manuscripts focused on the history of Prussia and of noble families. In 1591 built all the chancel and made a new altar, the decoration of which was done by the artist Lucas Cranach the of Wittenberge. In 1721 the Cathedral was erected a large organ, and in 1888 he was replaced by M. Terletskii. In 1833, in connection with the 500th anniversary, the entire Cathedral was renovated. Over the centuries, the Cathedral burned down several times and rebuilt. During the Second world war in 1941-1945 he had been badly damaged by flying British aircraft, as well as fires. The interior was not preserved, and the stone tombs and slabs with epitaphs have been preserved only partially.
Despite significant damage, the former Cathedral is among the most oldest monuments of religious architecture and has great architectural and historical value. The Cathedral is a building of Basilica type, with three aisles and a nave altar. To the West of the Cathedral culminates in a unique for the North German typical Gothic part of the tower, consisting of multi-faceted South tower, North tower and deck of the porch between the towers. During its long history the Cathedral was repeatedly rebuilt and repaired. In the postwar years, the Cathedral continued to deteriorate and its technical condition has steadily deteriorated. In 1981— 1984 years was made part of the conservation works that helped preserve the ruins of the Cathedral.
Since 1994 the firm "Cathedral" started work on the restoration of the Cathedral.Więcej informacji o licencji można znaleźć tutaj. Ostatnia aktualizacja: Sat, 03 Dec 2022 00:48:14 GMT
