Pirna Church Square
- Reconstruction of a listed monument
Adjacent to the City of Pirna's market place, the square surrounding the "Marienkirche" (Church of Mary), is a tranquil place amidst a hectic city life. Design and choice of materials reflect an ancient history. The northern sandstone retaining wall has been renovated and partly complemented. In-between the former graveyard's network of walkways a permeable gravel surface has been established using site typical "Elbekies" (pebbles from the river Elbe). This prevented a disturbance of the sub grade due to extensive earthworks. Important details like manually forged railings and downspouts, were reconstructed in accordance with the originals. Complementing the square, a decently designed bench is the only contemporary element as a link to modern times. |
