The return of the baroque
This is the silhouette of the Schlosskirche, once a Protestant church, now a museum. It is what a citizen of Saarbrücken would have seen from the time of the church's construction in 1743 until it was bombed in 1944. As the church was rebuilt from ruins after the war, no money was available for such a splendid tower and it was topped with a simple pyramid form. Only in 1999 did the city manage to restore the tower to its former baroque glory.
