[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
And now a different approach of architectural photography. In contrast to my former posting (Liebfrauenkirche) here is everything (e.g. large space, fitting surrounding) optimal for a pretty photo of this genre - OK, except the photographer.

As for the church: Dedicated to St. Nikolai (Nicholas) patron saint of boatmen. The church was built in 1290 to replace the court chapel in the Saalhof. Extensive renovations in the mid 1400s gave the church its present high tower and steep roof. During the late middle ages, a trumpeter was stationed in the tower and greeted arriving boats with a blast of his horn. The gallery with balustrade and projecting platforms was used by dignitaries as a viewing point for the tournaments, plays and imperial coronations that took place in the Roemerberg below. /altfrankfurt.com/
Since 1840 the church has been part of the "dotation system" that means that Nikolaikirche is one of the eight churches in property of the city of Frankfurt. According to an agreement of 1830 the city took over the rights and obligations over these eight churches and the parishes are granted their use only. (A similar system to that of France but with two significant differences:
1. while in France since the Revolution a general rule in Germany rather an exception,
2. the proprietor in France is the state, here the city.)
As a rare exception in the old town of Frankfurt the Nikolaikirche had not been destroyed in the World War II. The last renovation lasted from 1989 till 1992.

By clicking on the map function (an then several times on "+") you can have a view of the church and its environment from a satellite.

Hallo László!
Schön, wirklich schön! Du hattest ein sehr schwieriges Licht, aber das Ergebnis kann sich wirklich sehen lassen. Diese kleinen Schatten der Dachgauben sind richtige "Hingucker". Dein Kommentar hat mich Neues lernen lassen. Toll!
St. Nikolai war mir immer schon sympathisch ... ;-)
Grüße aus dem schwülheißen Siegen!

Szia Laszlo,
sehr intensives Licht zu diesem Moment, der Aufbau gefällt mir, den freien Platz gut für einen leicht belebten Vordergrund gewählt und noch etwas reizvolle Architektur links angeschlossen. Bis auf das sehr intensive Licht ist das Bild sehr klar, scharf und die Details sind sauber abgebildet. Das mit Licht sah mir einfach nach Workshop aus.
Ich glaube, so leer habe ich den Platz vor der Kirche noch nie gesehen.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Wunderbare Perspektive auf diese Kirche. Und ich muß Ulf zustimmen, sehr ungewöhnlich leer. Ulf und ich wohne ganz in der Nähe von Frankfurt. Würde mich auf Mini-TE-Treffen freuen, wenn Du mal wieder hier bsit.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Ciao Laszlo,
dalle ombre ho capito che la foto è stata scattata quasi in controluce, e tutto sommato il risultato è molto buono. Forse con un ISO 100 e un tempo più corto il cielo sarebbe venuto meno luminoso, ma in ogni caso i dettagli della chiesa e della costruzione a fianco sono assolutamente nitidi e ben contrastati. Una foto fatta in condizioni difficili, ma con un ottimo risultato. Complimenti.
Ciao
Paolo.
