Description
The burned spire of St. Nicholas church (St.-Nikolai-Kirche), a Gothic Revival cathedral who was one of the five Lutheran churches in Hamburg, Germany. The church was completely rebuilt by 1874, and was the tallest building in the world from 1874 to 1876.
The bombing of Hamburg in World War II destroyed the bulk of the church. The removal of the rubble left only its crypt, its site and tall-spired tower, largely hollow save for a large set of bells. These ruins continue to serve as a memorial and an important architectural landmark.
