Black Church Restoration Ad Hoc Collection in Braşov

This collection tells the sinuous story of the restoration to its former glory of the Black Church, a Gothic monument of the highest significance for the collective identity of the Saxon community in Transylvania. Launched by the local German-speaking elite during the 1930s, the restoration of the Black Church in Braşov was carried out during the communist period despite such politically driven adversities as the atheist system of values and the policy of so-called of “urban systematisation,” which envisaged the demolition of an important part of the architectural heritage of Romania.

本汇编记录了黑教堂恢复昔日辉煌的曲折历程，该教堂作为哥特式建筑的典范，对于特兰西瓦尼亚萨克斯人群体集体身份的塑造具有极高的历史意义。这一工程由当地德语精英阶层在20世纪30年代发起，尽管在共产主义时期面临诸如无神论价值观体系以及所谓“城市系统化”政策等政治驱动的种种逆境，该政策旨在拆除罗马尼亚重要建筑遗产的一部分，黑教堂在布加勒斯特的修复工作仍得以进行。
