[edit] Pictures

The German Wikipedia has many pictures that should probably be added to this page. Qutezuce 03:48, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adjusting translation

I've been trying to clean up this translation (it looks like a machine translation of the German article - or a word by word dictionary translation). Even with my basic German, the German article makes more sense to me in places! The paragraph about the reformation has me flummoxed, but the rest, though going slow, I should be able to manage, but feel free to pitch in. John (Jwy) 06:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed there is already a St. Nikolai (Hamburg) article about the same structure. They should be merged (this has the most info, but the English still needs improvement). John (Jwy) 19:03, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, I'm coming a bit late to this party ... I wrote most of the German version and could easily help resolving any open questions, but it seems that more or less everything has already been cleared up :) --SKopp 15:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merging this article with St. Nikolai (Hamburg)

I merged this article with St. Nikolai (Hamburg) and improved the result. 23 August 2006, 12:33 UTC, Boris Kaiser

[edit] Memorial against the war

The church is described in the post-war years as a "memorial against the war," but it's not very clear what this means. As a memorial it should commemorate the bombing, with the destruction of parts of the city and those who died; but "against the war" implies opposition to something. Opposition to "the war" doesn't quite make sense, because World War II is a completed historical event, not something ongoing that can be opposed. It could be simply a war memorial, or it could be anti-war in general, or opposed to bombing of cities, or something else... but this should be clarified from a good source. --Reuben (talk) 05:13, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
