Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Minster (in German: Münster) of Berne, Switzerland. Construction started in 1421. The tower with a height of 100.6 m (328 ft) was only completed in 1893.

In the lower left corner of the image are some houses of the old town, in the lower right corner is the Münsterplattform, once a churchyard, now a public park.

Photo taken in the evening light on 22nd of August, 2003, from Kirchenfeld Bridge, Bern. In the year 2003, the canton of Berne was celebrating being part of the Swiss Confederation for 650 years. For this reason, the tower of the minster could be seen without any scaffolding for some time - quite an unusual sight, since there is continous renovation work going on.
Deutsch: Das Berner Münster ist die grösste Kirche der Stadt Bern, Schweiz. Der Bau begann im Jahr 1421. Der Turm ist 100.6 m hoch und wurde erst 1893 fertiggestellt.

In der unteren Bildecke sind einige Häuser der Berner Altstadt (Münstergasse) zu sehen, in der unteren rechten Ecke ein Teil der Münsterplattform, die früher ein Friedhof war und heute eine öffentliche Parkanlage ist.

Die Foto des Münsters im Abendlicht wurde am 22. August 2003 von der Kirchenfeldbrücke aus aufgenommen. Im Jahr 2003 feierte der Kanton Bern "650 Jahre Bern in der Eidgenossenschaft". Aus diesem Grund war der Münsterturm ausnahmsweise eine Zeitlang ohne Baugerüst zu sehen - ein ungewohnter Anblick, denn am Münster sind ständig Renovierungsarbeiten im Gang.
Français : La cathédrale (en allemand: Münster) de Berne, Suisse. La construction a commencé en 1421, pendant que la tour (d'une hauteur de 100 m) ne fut achevée qu'en 1893.
