This church was destined to become a memorial of destruction and creation. When the authorities tried to rebuild the church, thousands of people protested. It was decided to leave the ruins of the 68-meter tower as a reminder of the past. Inside the church, frescoes have been preserved, reminiscent of the once rich decoration, and the steps to the second floor have been partially restored. The place is small and admission is free. It's worth stopping by to light a candle or buy something in the small souvenir shop inside. And there is also a market near the church on New Year's holidays, there is a huge fluffy spruce and hot mulled wine is poured. Two modern buildings were built nearby, inside one of them - Christ hovers in the blue glow of small square glasses. The "hollow tooth", as the Germans called the dilapidated tower, and the "blue church" side by side, like the past and the future, as a reminder that life goes on.. .
