Market Church – The window into the past

Flyer with 3D-model "A look into history"

 

The Lutheran Church of Our Lady is in a prominent place in the Western marketplace. It owes its present form the amalgamation of two medieval churches. Their two pairs of towers shape with the red tower the city skyline as the city of the five towers. The market church, completed in 1554, is one of the foremost examples of late Gothic architecture in central Germany and is home to high-level artistic treasures of the late Middle Ages and modern times. With the Reformation the church became in 1541 the protestant main church of Halle.

The flyer shows by a visualization with a 3D model like the two previous churches looked like and where they stood. By bringing printed screen shots of the model on a glass slide in the south-eastern area of the marketplace, the viewer has a spectacular view: the overlaying of the present with the historical image creates a peek into the past – computer model and reality add up to one picture that gives the viewer an accurate idea of the history of the two previous churches.
