The present condition of the St. Luke’s Church in Dresden, Germany is still marked by the wounds of the Second World War. The main tower, originally 83 metres high, has been cut to almost half its height. There is hardly anything left of the former, sky pointing character. The building looks now for many years in such a way incompletely over the city of Dresden. In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the consecration of the St. Luke's Church, in 2000 the parishioners of the St. Luke’s Church had the idea to rebuild the tower helmet of the main tower and the eastern side tower of the St. Luke’s Church. This paper describes a feasibility study for the reconstruction of the St. Luke’s church tower. Because all construction plans were burned during the war, the original dimensions of the tower’s helmet had to be determined first by means of an elaborate geometric reconstruction. Based on these dimensions a new steel construction was designed and a proposal for the on-site assembly was worked out. |
