Ceremonial reopening: Notre-lady shines new after five years!

Köln, Deutschland - The reopening of the world-famous cathedral of Notre-Dame took place this evening in Paris with international prominence. Among other things, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the designated US President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj were present. The celebration marks an important milestone after the devastating major fire in 2019, which was triggered by a short circuit in the roof structure. After extensive renovation work, some of which were associated with delays, President Emmanuel Macron has promised to restore the cathedral within five years, which is now recognized with a ceremony, such as Cologne cathedral building hut .

In addition, the Cologne filmmaker Marcus Laufenberg accompanied the restoration work with a documentary that impressively captures the cooperation and the many challenges that the craftsmen faced. The windows originally come from the renowned French glass painter Jacques Le Chevallier, who created it in 1965. The return of these windows not only marks a reconstruction, but also a symbolic gesture of Franco-German friendship that was strengthened by this project.
