Biertan Fortified Church

by Brian Reynolds

Last year Liz and I decided to take part in Chris Marquardt’s Eastern Europe Electric Photo Road Trip. This was a combined guided tour, and photo workshop. We went from Transylvania, to Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Dresden and ended up in Berlin.

This is a view from outside the defensive walls of the Biertan Fortified church in Transylvania, Romania. These churches were fortified in response to the Ottoman army in the area at the time.

Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

by Brian Reynolds

After the photo trip was done Liz and I stayed on in Berlin so we could visit where her mother grew up.

This is Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The building in the cneter was built by Kaiser Wilhelm II in the late 19th century, and named in honor of his grandfather Kaiser Wilhelm I. This church was heavily damaged during an Allied bombing raid in WWII. Today it is a memorial hall, and contains a Cross of Nails made from the roof timber nails of Conventry Cathedral in the UK . The building on the left is the new church built after the war.
