Gesamtinstandsetzung der Kirche St. Michael in Bamberg

The former Benedictine monastery church of St Michael on Michelsberg is one of Bambergs most significant monuments, both historically and artistically, and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the episcopal city of Bamberg. In 2012, the building was in acute danger of collapse, which made it necessary to close the church and initiate one of the most extensive restoration campaigns in the buildings history. This volume brings together more than 30 articles that shed light on the extraordinary restoration of St Michaels from a variety of perspectives. They trace the individual stages of the restoration, explain the complex tasks, decisions, and challenges involved, and present new findings from building research, archaeology, art history, and conservation science. - Documentation of an extraordinary restoration Interdisciplinary insights into modern monument conservation
