it's good that and rudy gabler have made a surprising discovery in the old cemetery and published a tombstone marking the grave of pastor david ants to their grandfather of the german philosopher friedrich nietzsche. ah, nature was born in a village, only a short distance from populace in 1844. and he often came here as a child he had a close relationship with his grandfather. and it's likely that he heard his grandfather preach a sermon or 2 in this church. ah, the once imposing structure has now fallen into ruin. ah, ah my and good heavens, it looked terrible. he does all they'll have to clear all the vegetation away before they can see if anything can be rescued.

architect garrett of esther mon examines the weather, beaten walls and makes an assessment about whether reconstruction is even an option . after his 1st inspection, he's optimistic was mitchum of hoyt us them and miss young of us. what i like last is not adding something new, breathing new life and swelled structures. this is christina, that it's healthy for the whole lot. if you preserve and maintain something from the past it, oh add something interesting to addict and all new functions is almost endless. i just know mindful soon so filled the 2 artists and a few fellow enthusiasts meet at pastor luther les coffs keys house to form an association with the aim of restoring the church when one should we start with the

fundamental question of the church as legal status eve could legally own good, let him rest your faces. they decide to 1st draft the associations charter to the members have plenty of ideas and different visions for the churches future. it will take a lot of discussion to reach an agreement that 1st they have to see to securing the site. because what remains of the building looks ready to collapse faster unless kaski is more than happy to pitch in and get down to the business of clearing trees and undergrowth. ah yes. um. yesterday i was in saint nicholas church in like conducting evening service. and today i am filling threes and problem with a chain. so in porpoise ah,

life, this is 35 kilometers away and can be easily reached by car stains. i did the dean quince, tyler to bowen. some of the members would like to turn the church into an art gallery of national importance and fight. others would like to make it a kind of community house for the region myself. that 2nd idea could succeed if the people in the village like it and hold their family celebrations here. and there are pentecost services and the fire brigade has a summer party or whatever a lot more it's good. so it's a well known artist from eastern germany he plans to stage a major exhibition here with a friend the painter roodick or gabler everson. after i knew we knew, as i've often started with ruin and consist of, 1st of all, it's a way of approaching an object. you get closer as you work or hacking everything away. and they spend time with it thinking about, you know, it's basically it's

a kind of land acquisition. it is when we take possession of the place. wouldn't stay ought to owns i'm or mom. so i no longer believe this is a vision. mean, it's a plan of yona salon, doesn't lana's. it's now clear where the 2 painters want to end their world tour. fillets the alice de la once or con towards i am the senior year. we plan to stage the final exhibition of our grand tor here. next year and i wanted to be held in this space as we are. i want to leave the building open to the sky and cover the walls with something forming a white keep. and we can construct a floor here with sand or wooden panels that could leave the tree standing by involved. so we'll have a canopy of leaves over the exhibition that the implants heaped and creates a temporary exhibition space or. and when the exhibition is over, i will take everything out again on one and then ideally the project will continue that comes on the roof will be built. good. that's awfully wider. this is the

obstacle it's going to take a lot of hard work. but the pastor has good ideas and some practical skills that are proving very useful except nafta vendor would not asked a german reunification. i was allowed to take the university entrance exam. seeing elizabeth in communist east germany. i'd been rejected out of hand for political reasons. but re unification came at exactly the right time for me. but then i didn't feel like going to university. it fell to abstract laptops that so i trained to become a stonemason from this is an enormous project, but i think we can handle it on, on fungal, the german novelist and nobel laureate thomas man, invented a setting for his novel doctor faust, us an imaginary town in central germany and a witness to german history, it's high culture and it's decline into depravity. he called it kaiser's ashan, and uncle morgan's office. he'll more it's came to me instead,

it's here. it hadn't occurred to me, so let's just do it and it will work out. he said that so we imagined kaiser's us in here. and that's what we called the association buying. and most of the members only have spare time at the weekend, and it takes many months to clear away the rubble of decades. but eventually, the old church floor will see the light of day again. the original stones are sorted and carefully stored under the vegetation. the crypt lies waiting to be discovered with the artist plan to

make boards out of the old beams, a small gifts for donors and so on. but of course, if i wasn't known, this is oak from the 15th century, we'll saw a top and plain it nicely. ink of your kaiser's us on a po, them will engraved, kaiser's ashen on it, and every one we want to thank. we'll get one into chin put off with both of those. let me hear what you think of the sex when i see what 5 or 6 people have achieved in 3 days. i wonder how is this possible with a few hours when somebody makes a start, then everybody's glad to pitch in that that's what we hear for a little. with a clear majority,

the pastor is elected chairperson of the kaisers asher. an association blue smoke rises near the old church building a fitting symbol, perhaps a sign that a place of new inspiration is emerging. the local community is already involved in the project. to mr. miller, who sometimes provides electricity for the equipment, has made coffee to day. oh, hello. hello. hello. hello, mr. miller. it's great. we've resolved our little disagreement so quickly. i would say, oh, absolutely come in for coffee. ah. oh, the mood is relaxed and everyone gets along. suffer. we are both father. and this is also your real native of popular law and populous born. he writes,

warn you, think of all cool strangers descending on their village to rescue the old church came as something of a shock to the residence of hopeless. but they soon realised that the project would bring new life into the village and spark interest in its history. according to the apostles, is north heartbroken, though she will not listen to options with pencil bogus. the 1st public event held in front of the ruined church. drew a big audience, including the mayor of published the performance featured some experimental electronic music, filmed by a member of the audience on a smartphone. ah ah, ah,

the 1st church to be built on this site went up in the 10th century. but the building that lives here in bruins, these back to the 15th century and was refurbished in the 18th century, neglected during the communist era. the building continued to decay even after german reunification in 1990. the volunteers want to use the original stones as much as possible the architect supervised as much of the restoration work and before it got under way, he made an initial assessment of the buildings condition the said sisters kirsten to fill a home of them. when asked,

the nave is open to the sky and all this left of the roof is, is what we can see on old photo, subtle that presents a challenge and, and what to do with a historical monument in this condition, go to, we tried to restore it as much as possible, i think of which we talked about of the 1st meeting. what, what do we say? let's honor the out preserve adolescence but add something functional and bring all of us fontanello that. so securing the masonry was a prerequisite for holding a public event inside the ruined church. with 3 members of the berlin philharmonic orchestra are giving a benefit concert in need of the project. most of the audience are seeing the church for the 1st time. for the musicians to the difficult conditions are 1st, but they don't let wind or weather stop them. ah,

pianist marbled kaiser violinist michael eyes and clarinetist mon friend. pies have chosen to perform handles trio sonata. it's a somewhat tongue in cheek choice because honda was born in the east german city of holla, where the artists more it's goodson and rigor. gabler also come from. 2 ready ah,

ah. ringback for an hour the audience has been treated to work by composers from the time of free, checked me check. the inspiring music has put them in a generous mood with more it's good sir. and rudy k e blair have returned from their world tour,

bringing their artworks with them with food senators who would urge glad you worked together well because you're so different shirt as it takes to in a statement of yours greedy god, i read. good sir, is hard working zebra rather lazy flies issue. you blow your follow. the 2 artists have known each other since they were boys collaborated on many projects together and dreamed of international success or non hobbies, info, minor guns, and $400.00 of it uncles knocked. i called my friends all over the world. the plot i said i was planning a will talk and asked if i would help video link to within a week, not on while the others were still working on the invitation listed. and i had organized a tour with $34.00 locations, wouldn't i didn't really think about what it would involve retorted originally what we plan to travel for. yes, it turned into surface even gotten mom alo, conduct classical grand to had a carriage and a draftsman to handle the menial things. but what we lugged around went way beyond

that. we went trying to make ourselves happy, but make others happy. gluten, i says, whatsoever looking good the by the 2 artists are ambassadors for their birthplace. the historical center of german culture where the protestant reformation has its roots, luther country, ah, their travels took them to 5 continents. one of their exhibitions was in new zealand. ah, they ventured as far afield as southern india and showed their works in offices of the girl to institute and in german embassies around the world. including in london where they won new friends and fans as they did in brussels, in italy and australia. and then they returned to their starting point, published and this small but once significant church to end their grand tour with

a large exhibition the longest and most complex exhibition with the most pitfalls and difficulties. is the one here in publish. oh, many local people came to the opening, but there were also visitors from berlin ly, petition and airport. people curious about the church and excited to see a special exhibition in an unusual setting. oh, the guests included v i p. 's from the region and the deputy minister for culture in the state of saxony on hot ha. work the catalog documents the artists world tor available demise. in general, the deputy minister receives an explanation of the plans for the rest of the project. this hello, ms. king approval, then talk a while the marquee slowly

fills up, and other visitors are still chatting at the buffet. the 2 artists make final preparations and arrangements and the event itself will be opened by a pastor and association, chairperson looter, less kosky legal fighting than in florida. dear friends, we are about to enter a decorative ruin. and the combination of those 2 words leads me to a quotation from friedrich nature. i just, i think that he took a field in his slim volume human all to human. he rides his high ruins as decoration as book zisha, defeat guys. think about people who go through many spiritual changes, retain some views and habits from earlier stages. this then just out into their new

thinking and acting like a bit of inexplicable antiquity and grey stone wrote, often ornamented the whole region. this is an immaculately, it's an odd connection. many will still remember this place, how it looked 2 years ago. this was the condition, the ruins completely overgrown. you know, it spoke of desolation, destruction decay so soon of either irrelevant, irrelevant tooth and loss of memory. jagged it faced an empty sky nature. the amateur who walked along here is a little boy where we're sitting now chose the word decoration book. dear shook the other decorations in hans. yeah, he raised people above their lowly naturalness. if they are made of precious materials or assume fine forms or they enhance the beauty of youth and conceal old age, will focus this article or by rocky fires. so you may very well ask the

question and some people will certainly do. so. why here in publish, how in hopeless of all places can we succeed in returning home to kaiser sashon? i believe the answer to this question is, art. the irrepressible power of art. with which rudy got gabler and morgan's good circle, turned the fictional town of kaiser sasha into a real place i live fulfilled. 3 days after the guests have explored the grounds and contemplated the resurrected legend, all that remains as for the final stage of the artist's world tore to commence in here, this way. with all

the coaches when the ball wash it. that's what's happening here in the church. he's wonderful, amazing. i would never have thought you could cool off a project like this in a ruined like this. and the ruins of steel, tangible in his pile of rock, all overgrown and wild with some parts of it and behind it the artist. it's really wonderful. there's a struggle. after being shown in more than 30 locations,

the enamel and oil paintings are back home in germany. it's just we know the church ruins are a kind of frame for the art, but the ruins are also kazama cruz 12 through an artistic synthesis because of the objects exhibited here. a world taught what it culminates here. oh, and it's a lot of let you move. it's good. so inside fiancee and young, can we? no, no, it's good for many, many years as an amazing, outstanding artist and the connection that really thrilled now is that i grew up in this area. it up, what is in there taking care of go back to built, usually fortunate guy. you have to remember he's one of the few contemporary artists who take some historical themes and re interprets them for the 21st century to snow and lot and for continuous

marvelous under was what fell. i can't think of another word for it. and so lam of it's more of it, i've known more, it's in his big ambitious projects over the years, but this takes the cake to getting a to mom of marvelous lahoma. so i know applaud and have contours exhibiting art in this unusual setting, drew the attention of the media and a large audience. but for the architect and the members of the association, it's time to look to the future. the know i knew a legal oh and we have some new ideas, glove poly, influenced by our experience and staging. the 1st exhibition and the feeling space evokes weekly, ought to feel it takes time to get a feeling for a space in the ballistic. put all via or, and our thought is to have light coming in from above and to make the entire night a single space which can be used for various functions, meaningful,

so on and to rebuild the staircase and the tower tall. so the upper level can be used as a viewing platform on the oval, even at a storm astellas. oh is it foretold? what's the income ah, the association is already meeting with pastor les cowski to discuss plans for the church. they have a number of ideas. but germany has strict building regulations, which conservationists have an important oh, by the most recent designed featuring a flat roof was reject it. now they're working on an ambitious new design. this is, this is an original photo. with the new plan calls for a glass roof based on the original one, it will be delicate looking, but strong, creating a large space with

a loss of light. but also protection from the sun with the members of the association are won over by phone. so are done by its own dog. in the recent exhibition with marriage, we saw that having that light from above was quite lovely in this ultimate diminished for all. so the idea of glass roof is back on the table. last i called to muffin, be docile to song, ask them to warden on this tower window here in right now it's brick top business. if we want to open the top and make a large window out of it, and we have these 2 windows over here, and another way was, wasn't, then we have these 2 long rolls, but still have light coming in here with the angle. we won't put class in the to entrance doors. oh so that light can also enter from that least claim and they'll match the glass root canceled soon deposit. that gets sudden off. there's also an open space platform in which to be us came up with. that's the original wasn't sources, unders will splitter it up. it's not mine. i've made a new one because we agreed we should have a bit more green space

a lot. so we're cutting down on the paved area and i was a clock to stick the fill station place. nice thing with the help of private donations and public funds. one day the old church will resume its place at the heart of the village. ah ah ah, with
