Nikolaiviertel at sunset. / Николаифиртель на закате. #goldenhourphotography
Photo from the evening walk through the Berlin district Nikolaiviertel in April 2015. The low rays of the sun no longer penetrate the square, coloring only the tops of the houses with golden light. But St. Nicholas' Church (Nikolaikirche) - the church, which gave the name to this district, looks unusually elegant.
Nikolaikirche is the oldest church in Berlin. The first version was built in the XIII century. But since then the church has changed its appearance. The facade with two towers, which you see in the photo, appeared after reconstruction in the late XIX century. During the Second World War the church suffered greatly. So do not be surprised that the walls of the towers look brand-new: they began to restore Nikolaikirche only in 1981. Now there is a museum in there. Also concerts are held there.
Spectacular bronze sculpture in the foreground is a monument to St. George, who striking dragon. I really liked the monument. He makes a strong impression of the composition as a whole. At the same time, all details are strikingly made: the armor of George, the dragon. The German sculptor August Kiss created this monument in 1853.
Фотография с вечерней прогулки по берлинскому району Николаифиртель в апреле 2015 года. Низкие лучи солнца уже не проникают на площадь, окрашивая золотистым светом лишь макушки домов. Зато Николаикирхе – церковь, давшая название этому району, смотрится необычайно нарядно.
Николаикирхе – самая старинная церковь в Берлине. Первый вариант был построен в XIII веке. Но с тех пор церковь меняла свой облик. Фасад с двумя башнями, которые вы видите на фотографии, появился после реконструкции в конце XIX века. Во время 2-ой мировой войны церковь сильно пострадала. Так что не удивляйтесь, что стены башен выглядят новенькими: восстанавливать Николаикирхе начали лишь в 1981 году. Сейчас там музей. Также в ней проходят концерты.
Эффектная бронзовая скульптура на переднем плане – это памятник святому Георгию, поражающему дракона. Памятник мне очень понравился. Он производит сильное впечатление композицией в целом. При этом поразительно сделаны все детали: доспехи Георгия, дракон. Немецкий скульптор Август Кисс создал этот памятник в 1853 году.

This is a beautiful capture! I love how the last rays of the sun highlight the church. Excellent job, @eto-ka! I'd love to see additional photos of the St. George monument sometime - it looks wicked cool. 😊
Thank you, Traci, for your feedback!
Okay, I'll try to make a separate post this week about this monument. I have several photos, where it is seen in more detail.
Ooo, awesome @eto-ka! And you're very welcome!

Люблю скульптуры и памятники. Но не гипсовых в РФ.
Я тоже люблю. Всегда стараюсь про интересные памятники/скульптуры разузнать, когда куда-то еду.
Looks like a monument is expresing a powerful messsage to us!
I think the sculptor would be happy that you felt it.
