association with the aim of restoring the church when one should we start with the fundamental question of the church as legal status eve own, in the dim west your faces, they decide to 1st draft the associations charter. so 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

he made an initial assessment of the buildings condition the said sisters kirsten to fill out all 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 if you preserve it luster's, 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,
