\"Ger\u00fcst<\/a>The structural damage that occurred above the west gallery of the Protestant church in\u00a0Cop\u0219a Mare\u00a0(church district of Media\u0219) could be secured. As part of an emergency intervention by the\u00a0Fortified Churches\u00a0Foundation, not only was the endangered part of the vault supported in June 2019, but two excavated arch bricks were also replaced.<\/p>\n

To protect the organ, the instrument was partially removed or covered with a protective tarpaulin. In order to restore the statically necessary tension in the vault construction, the wedging method was used. Sebastian Bethge and Peter Cersovsky from the\u00a0Fortified Churches Foundation\u00a0have driven wedges of oak wood into the vault. In order to observe the movements of the wall, the team also applied so-called crack marks. For this purpose, marking plates were attached to the northern wall next to the west gallery on each side of the crack, which can now be used to document every millimetre shifted. – The material costs of several hundred euros were borne by Sabine Haranzha, who has been\u00a0engaged in\u00a0Cop\u0219a Mare\u00a0for more than three years.<\/p>\n
