The wall crowns of a total of twelve pillars were repaired and the pillar covers were renewed with historic tiles. Also this summer, a collapsed buttress was rebuilt by a company commissioned by the Fortified Churches Foundation and can now fulfil its original function again.

For years, Mrs Wittenberg has endeavoured to support the Fortified Churches Foundation in preserving her home church by appealing for donations. Since 2021, private donations totalling more than 7,000 euros have been collected in this way. This has not only funded the work for 2023, but also other activities. &#8220;It was a wonderful moment to show Mrs Wittenberg and her family the fruits of our work on the fortified church. During the discussions, everyone agreed that cultural heritage can also be saved in regular, small steps,&#8221; recalls Sebastian Bethge of the meeting on the construction site.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18823\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Foto-28-08-2023-10-56-26-1024x768.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18823 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Foto-28-08-2023-10-56-26-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Foto-28-08-2023-10-56-26-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Foto-28-08-2023-10-56-26-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kirchenburgen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Foto-28-08-2023-10-56-26.jpg 1066w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Familie Wei\u00df\/Wittenberg mit dem Team der Stiftung Kirchenburgen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The small fortified church in M\u0103gheru\u0219 dates back to the 16th century.
