Problems with the roofing and the rainwater drainage system turned out to be central. But not only repairs to the roof truss, the roof tiles and roof battens were carried out. Harmful, cement-containing plaster was removed as well as the levelling of the terrain. &#8220;The vast majority of the damage to our churches and fortresses is caused by defective sewage systems or damage to the roofs. That is why the roofing work and the exemplary solution of the rainwater drainage through a gutter carried out under the tower were particularly crucial,&#8221; explains Ecaterina G\u00e1l.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='czr-gallery row flex-row czr-gallery-style gallery galleryid-12030 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein6.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein6-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 141px, (min-width: 992px) 114px, (min-width: 768px) 78px, (min-width: 576px) 105px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein6-45x45.jpg 45w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein3.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 141px, (min-width: 992px) 114px, (min-width: 768px) 78px, (min-width: 576px) 105px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein3-45x45.jpg 45w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein5.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 141px, (min-width: 992px) 114px, (min-width: 768px) 78px, (min-width: 576px) 105px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein5-45x45.jpg 45w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein4.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 141px, (min-width: 992px) 114px, (min-width: 768px) 78px, (min-width: 576px) 105px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein4-45x45.jpg 45w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item col col-auto'>\r\n                        <div class='gallery-icon landscape czr-gallery-icon'>\r\n                              <a data-lb-type=\"grouped-gallery\" href=https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein2.jpg class=\"bg-link\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 141px, (min-width: 992px) 114px, (min-width: 768px) 78px, (min-width: 576px) 105px, calc( 50vw - 30px )\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/klein2-45x45.jpg 45w\" \/>\r\n                        <\/div><\/figure>\r\n                  <\/div>\n\n<p>With a total sum of significantly less than 20,000 euros, these important and urgent safety works could now be completed in Ru\u0219i in cooperation with specialists and experts recognized by the Ministry of Culture.

The strikingly inclined tower, which stands away from the nave, dates from 1749 and was already inclined by 18 degrees in the middle of the 19th century. According to an investigation by engineer Karl G\u00e4rtner (1858), the bell tower of Ru\u0219i is considered stable and therefore not in danger of collapsing. Nevertheless, according to Sebastian Bethge of the Fortified Churches Foundation, regular observation of the statics of the tower is recommended.<\/p>\n<p><em>Text und Photos: Stefan Bichler<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the team of the Fortified Churches Foundation, &#8220;Corona-times&#8221; do not mean a standstill at all: construction work was on the schedule in the past months.
