Ein architektonisches Meisterwerk [G]

An Architectural Masterpiece

So fand der Bamberger Reiter, ein Meisterwerk gotischer Skulptur (im Bamberger Dom, entstanden um 1237), im 19. Jh. noch kaum Beachtung, belegt Gebhardt. [G]

Thus in the 19th century the Bamberg Rider, a masterpiece of Gothic sculpture (created in 1237 and standing in the Bamberg Cathedral), had received little notice, as Gebhardt shows, whereas 60 years later this figure set up in a Christian church became a mounted hero with nationalistic significance.

Tausende in aller Welt spendeten dafür, dass das architektonische Meisterwerk, das unter der Leitung von George Bähr zwischen 1726 und 1743 erbaut wurde, wieder Dresdens Stadtbild prägt. [G]

Since then, thousands of donations have flowed in from people all over the world who are keen to support the restoration of this architectural masterpiece, constructed by the architect George Bähr between 1726 and 1743, so that it once again dominates the city's skyline.

Wenn Architektur bedeutet, Form, Konstruktion und Haustechnik zu höchster Raffinesse zu entwickeln und zu verfeinern, dann stehen wir bei Sobeks Haus vor einem Meisterwerk; wenn Bauen bedeutet, ein funktionsfähiges, behagliches Heim zu schaffen, vor einem rigorosen Artefakt ohne Alltagstauglichkeit. [G]

If architecture means taking shape, construction and residential technology to the highest possible level of sophistication and then to refine it even further, then Sobek's house is a masterpiece. If construction means creating a functioning, comfortable home, then it is a rigid artefact that is quite unsuitable for day-to-day use.
