This church in Cologne, Germany, was completely restored after WW2
Like in the previous set of pictures, this contrast also covers the topic of war. These kinds of tragedies alter the lives of the totality of the concerned countries’ populations. Apart from the physical and psychological damage that war causes, it destroys thousands of public and private buildings and the memories inside them.
Though this person didn’t place the current picture of the St. Martin Church in Cologne over the old one, the effect is practically the same. The photo on the left is from 1946, while the other one is from 2021. Fortunately, both the buildings surrounding the Church and the historical building itself have been restored.
