Gezicht op de Gendarmenmarkt in Berlijn met de op 28 juli 1781 ingestorte kerktoren after 1781

Johann Georg Rosenberg's etching "Gezicht op de Gendarmenmarkt in Berlijn met de op 28 juli 1781 ingestorte kerktoren" depicts the aftermath of the collapse of the tower of the German Church in Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt. Created after 1781, the artwork captures the scene of destruction, with debris scattered across the square and onlookers gathered around the ruined structure. The image provides a historical glimpse of a significant event in Berlin's architectural history, showcasing the impact of the collapse and the subsequent efforts to rebuild. This detailed view, created in the style of 18th-century European etching, is a valuable document of urban life and architecture in the late 18th century.
