在柏林市,有座别具一格的古迹,名叫“记忆教堂”。它原本是市中心最大的哥特式教堂,雄伟壮观,豪华漂亮。可是在第二次世界大战中却难逃厄运,遭受炮火的毁坏。全身伤痕累累,尖顶被截断,山墙坍塌,后面半部完全消失。只有钟楼上的时针永远定格在被毁的时刻,记下了历史上难忘的一笔。战争结束后,人们对这座古教堂未来的前景争论纷纭,主张拆除和赞成保留的两种意见针锋相对。市政当局决定进行公民投票,结果大多数市民同意将其保留下来。对于这样一个损坏极为严重的古迹,应该如何加以保护呢?当局和市民经过深思熟虑之后,在维修原则上达成了共识:绝不修理,将其按现状保留下来,破坏成什么样子就让它是什么样子,时时提醒人们不忘历史教训。 In Berlin, there is a unique monuments, called “memory church ”. It was originally the largest gothic cathedral in the city center, majestic, luxurious and beautiful. However, in the Second World War, it fled to bad luck and suffered the destruction of artillery. The body was scarred, the spire was cut off, the gable collapsed and the back half completely disappeared. Only clock on the clock forever freeze in the moment, recorded an unforgettable record in history. After the war ended, people disagreed on the future prospects of the ancient church, and the two opinions advocating the dismantling and favoring the reservation were diametrically opposed. The municipality decided to hold a referendum, and as a result most citizens agreed to keep it. How should we protect such a monumental site that has suffered serious damage? After careful consideration, the authorities and the public reached a consensus on the principle of maintenance: they will never be repaired, they will be preserved as they are and what will they be destroyed if they are destroyed? Looks like, always reminds people not to forget history lessons.
