PRODUCTION - 22 March 2023, Saxony, Großpösna: View of the scaffolded floating church "Vineta" on Lake Störmthal. After a good decade on the water and enduring wind and weather, the facade needs to be renewed and painted. The "Vineta" is not a consecrated church, but its 15-meter tower is modeled on the steeple of the former Magdeborn church. The village of Magdeborn was one of many places that had to give way to open-cast lignite mining. Lake Störmthal was created by flooding the mine. Concerts, readings or private celebrations such as wedding ceremonies are held on the "Vineta". (to dpa: "The floating church "Vineta" is being renovated") Photo: Jan Woitas/dpa
