Couple of things regarding this (am Germanon, so certified source): they destroyed the church (Dom von Immerath) and the surrounding villages to expand the coal surface mine in the Garzweiler II area. People were resettled outside the mining areas but in 2017 projections were made that even some of these new settlements would have to be demolished again in 2035 and 2044 when the mining operation would shift southwards. Contrary to many comments here stipulating that the church was razed due to lack of worshipers - the region there is very rural and quite faithful to my experience. This was done by energy corporations and the German government purely for profit reasons. If the eco-nazis from the green party wouldn't have shut down the nuclear power-plants then this tragedy could have been avoided and coal mining could've long since been stopped.
Even *if* churches did have a lack of worshippers, that doesn’t mean the government would start tearing them down. In just one of England’s 48 counties (Norfolk), there are 650 churches built before 1485, and thousands more built thereafter - and remember that’s only one single county out of 48! Church attendance in England is very, very low; and yet they’re all still standing, and will continue to regardless of atheism.
This is just hogwash. Stalin trained as a christian priest. the former USSR had far more % of christians than the USA. The only thing he did was ban their advertisements in public places & state office. All advertisements of any kind were banned from the metro so that was no biggie. Personally if its 1 less place where children are getting raped by priests, it's a good thing.
@@187onaPigeon well the USA has already moved towards the Marxist planned economy. The state control of bank bailouts and huge funding for selected companies, not to mention that pretty much any large company will have a liaison with the secret services. Corporate socialism has been in place for some time now.
This church was demolished because of Brown coal. And not just this church, whole villages where sacrificed for that same reason. The party that allowed this to happen is the CDU (Christian Democratic Union). A conservertive, religious party. Against abortion and drugs and in favor of the traditionall german family. Sadly, in germany, state and church are not separated.
Scrotus Maximus i didn't know that the energy company rwe demolishes a church in order to build a mosque, instead of expanding access to the area's lignite supply. Quite embarrassing knowing the truth now.
We in Romania strugle, as catholics, to build churches and often we need to have small buildings and 0 arhitectural style. Meanwhile germans destroy theyr masterpieces.
Wait, that church is only as old as the Eiffel Tower, and was deconsecrated in 2013. So it’s not like this was either sacrilege or the destruction of some ancient treasure. Churches like that are fairly common. It is unfortunate that such a pretty building was destroyed to make a coal mine, but it is far more concerning that this was part of destroying a whole village to make a coal mine. But that is the way of the world: nothing matters but a quick buck. I wonder what ideologies are most opposed to such profiteering…
@asteinmann True. But I consider the emptying of a village in order to gouge out the Earth, to choke out the air, to poison the water, to kill the flora and fauna, all to make line go up the greater tragedy. Man can build new churches, but we can't rebuild our earthly Providence.
I would think that digging a coal mine would be about as far away from being a quick buck that you could get. I'll bet if Germany had built a nuclear power plant, the demand for coal would not be great enough to support the project. As for why the Church sold out, they have to pay billions in reparations to all of those molested children.
"Churches like that are fairly common" because we inherited them and should protect them for future generations there is very little energy to create public works of beauty in the modern west; don't take it for granted that this will change for the better and not the worse
@@chrisc7265 Certainly wouldn't the destruction of earthly Providence be more horrific than the destruction of a building that can be rebuilt? Churches have been destroyed, and they have then been rebuilt. Man can rebuild in current styles, older styles, Avant Garde, and more. But the church isn't really a building; it is a community, a ritual, an idea. The building is just a tool. Tools are broken and repaired, destroyed and remade, but the church survives regardless. But Man cannot rebuild our earthly Providence. To destroy that is truly sacrilege.
In the U.S they would move the building to another location. Don't tell me that's not possible because an entire French Indian war fort was moved just outside my Home town, I'm sure that was much more challenging than this church would have been.
This. Sorry my friend but the rest of the world still needs time to catch up to us, its sad but we Americans are lucky to have the rights and ability to avoid tragedies like this. Europe has long been in decline.
@@RusS1482 man, decline? If you are a traditionalist, this is a decline, but even traditionalists in my country love the idea of EU and distancing themselves from religion. And this is only one church, 140 years old, that is not even that old for European standards, we have more beautiful, more used, older buildings used as pubs around the Europe, imagine only how the churches look, then. And sorry, but the Church sold this one building by themselves, nobody was showing up, nobody was enjoying it's beauty while it exited, now everyone is sad, all of the sudden.

This church was demolished because of Greed. It stands on coal and is removed because an energy company wants to exploit the coal. And this albeit we already know that we must abandon coal to cut carbon emissions. Note that the permission to destroy this beauty (along with lots of centuries-old villages) was given by the Social Democrat-Green state government.
@@jogreen3266 I see. Well, either way I'd rather have it stand there. This beautiful architecture was not worth demolishing and there is more than enough coal in the mountains.
Utterly shameful how many atheists in the comments cheered for it's destruction. Philistines are always spurned when a centuries old building turns out to be more beautiful than they are, I suppose. Pathetic all around!
It was destroyed to make way for bagger 291 and his brothers. The church stood on brown coal. The beautiful landscpae, a village that generations of people called their home, all the history ... forever destroyed to produce dirty energy. Its just sad.
I'm an atheist but this is really sad to see, even if the church might not have been in use or in bad shape that doesn't mean anyone should completely destroy it.
What too many don’t seem to be aware of: -this church is ‚only‘ late 19th C. -It is not torn down because of some supposed anti religious sentiments -the people of the community most definately were NOT okay with it’s destruction. - The latter is evident by the fact the village/town around the church has already also been torn down almost completely. -this is one of many villages/towns, that were disowned, and completely erased, to feed the whole landscape to giant open pit mining enterprizes, who will not let their profits be reduced one cent, even if it irreperably damages the climate and obliterates the planets surface and the communities on it.
Those buildings can easily be repurposed into libraries, museums, places of heritage and history. Buildings should not remain contingent to its original purpose, much like how we have ancient Greek and Roman temples today, or the pyramids of Giza, without necessarily paying reverence to those long extinct religions that inspired them in the first place. There is no glory or pride in senseless destruction. Historical buildings contain a unique essence of its own independent of human ideologies that house them, that can last long well after we have all gone extinct. When you tear down ancient structures, you tear down a history of ourselves as humans, you destroy evidence of craftsmanship, of the knowledge and skills used to construct them, the quality of the styles, materials, the artisanship, the thousands of man hours working on it who poured their bIood and sweat putting it together. Stone masonry is an extremely labour-intensive and difficult art... and people like these seem to have no appreciation of that. It's as disgraceful as N4Zl book-burning or terrorists blowing up ancient wonders. And I am as atheistic as they come. By all means let's bIow everything up, let's destroy everything of your own culture - everything, until you have nothing left, because all you will have is the title of a destroy-er, which really requires zero skill or IQ or respect whatsoever. Chances are one will leave this earth from a mass produced concrete carton box devoid of character or any real depth, while I rather die an atheist in an overgrown ruin of an ancient place admiring the works of our ancestors and it shall be a timeless experience. If there is a divine at least then I would have paid my respects to the life I was given and to this sacred earth we were gifted with. It takes painstaking effort to be human, and only the unhuman destroy beauty.
Ah yes, because someone placed a building there 140 years ago, we should not use that peace of land never again. Logical conclusion, of course, not based on feelings and beliefs. Edit: i first wrote 300 years ago, but this church is only 140 years old and took 4 years to build Hahahaha i know libraries that are older and took longer to build, i know public parks older and that took longer to plan and create. Skyscrapers in the US took more work to be built. And the Church sold the church, people were not showing up so keeping it did not make sense.
@@gaboxd4407 that does not count, i think, something about western judeo-christian nonsence and how these buildings are organic to the culture or similar logical acrobatics needed to justify it

Madness! Here in the UK it would have at least been brought and repurposed, maybe as flats but at least the outside and much of the inside would not have been destroyed. All that architecture gone forever. Such viciousness simply because it was a church. Now imagine what was destroyed on ancient history and through the ages. The Wise Up channel will give you food for thought, particularly his earlier videos. As for it being a church building, remember the church is the people and it wouldn't be the first time the church has had to meet where available including each others homes. This is a building not THE church, albeit it should have been criminal vandalism to have destroyed it as it was such an architectural gem.
It is only 140 years old, calm your tits, we have pubs and houses older that that. And the Church sold the building, it was not taken by force. By the way, you think you would have anywhere to live if even single peace of architecture was left untouched just because it holds some architectural value? Sooner or later, every building you hold dear will be torn down, that is just the fact.
And why has this happened? 1: Renewables just cannot compete against oil, gas and nuclear. Renewables is what Chancellor Angela Merkel wanted for Germany. She wanted to force Germany to rely on renewables 100%, but so-called green energy just could not supply the needed energy. 2: Germany has shut down eight of its 17 reactors and pledged to close the rest by the end of 2022, this is large part is attributed to Merkel's decision. A reaction after the disaster at Fukushima (power plants built from the early 70's and never upgraded) .
Even communists in former Yugoslavia didn't demolish churches when some huge projects (for example building dams) were realized, but relocated them keeping all as it used to be.

Nope.. It was destroyed to make way for coal mine. And also, most of the church that are converted to mosque or synagogue, are done so by the permission of the church themselves, since nobody visits church anymore and it's financially unsustainable.
Every church that gets destroyed is just another step towards Muslims taking over. Whether it's for a coal mine or not is irrelevant. The less churches, the better for them.
@@LittleLulubee Why are you blaming Muslims? You Christians don't even go to church and then cry when churches are demolished to make way for new buildings.
"Good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created." Who said that church was a good thing? What you consider to be good can be rather subjective.
This is why there needs to be a level of separation of church and state. Not because the Church shouldn't overbear on the state but the other way around. The Church relies on the state for funds, and so they allow for abominations like this to be enacted.

Couple of things regarding this (am Germanon, so certified source): they destroyed the church (Dom von Immerath) and the surrounding villages to expand the coal surface mine in the Garzweiler II area. People were resettled outside the mining areas but in 2017 projections were made that even some of these new settlements would have to be demolished again in 2035 and 2044 when the mining operation would shift southwards. Contrary to many comments here stipulating that the church was razed due to lack of worshipers - the region there is very rural and quite faithful to my experience. This was done by energy corporations and the German government purely for profit reasons. If the eco-nazis from the green party wouldn't have shut down the nuclear power-plants then this tragedy could have been avoided and coal mining could've long since been stopped.
The Green Party wasn't even in Power when those nuclear plants were closed.
@@johnrambo5795 The party itself not, but the people in it actively lobbied for the removal of nuclear and coal power plants.
@@metalltitan yes, because most germans wanted it and still want it.
Even *if* churches did have a lack of worshippers, that doesn’t mean the government would start tearing them down. In just one of England’s 48 counties (Norfolk), there are 650 churches built before 1485, and thousands more built thereafter - and remember that’s only one single county out of 48! Church attendance in England is very, very low; and yet they’re all still standing, and will continue to regardless of atheism.
EU more and more becoming like Soviet Union, there also churches was crushed.

We in Romania strugle, as catholics, to build churches and often we need to have small buildings and 0 arhitectural style. Meanwhile germans destroy theyr masterpieces.
Even as a Muslim this hurts to see.
Wait, that church is only as old as the Eiffel Tower, and was deconsecrated in 2013. So it’s not like this was either sacrilege or the destruction of some ancient treasure. Churches like that are fairly common.
It is unfortunate that such a pretty building was destroyed to make a coal mine, but it is far more concerning that this was part of destroying a whole village to make a coal mine. But that is the way of the world: nothing matters but a quick buck.
I wonder what ideologies are most opposed to such profiteering…
@asteinmann True. But I consider the emptying of a village in order to gouge out the Earth, to choke out the air, to poison the water, to kill the flora and fauna, all to make line go up the greater tragedy.
Man can build new churches, but we can't rebuild our earthly Providence.
I would think that digging a coal mine would be about as far away from being a quick buck that you could get. I'll bet if Germany had built a nuclear power plant, the demand for coal would not be great enough to support the project. As for why the Church sold out, they have to pay billions in reparations to all of those molested children.
"Churches like that are fairly common"
because we inherited them and should protect them for future generations
there is very little energy to create public works of beauty in the modern west; don't take it for granted that this will change for the better and not the worse
@@chrisc7265 Certainly wouldn't the destruction of earthly Providence be more horrific than the destruction of a building that can be rebuilt? Churches have been destroyed, and they have then been rebuilt. Man can rebuild in current styles, older styles, Avant Garde, and more. But the church isn't really a building; it is a community, a ritual, an idea. The building is just a tool. Tools are broken and repaired, destroyed and remade, but the church survives regardless.
But Man cannot rebuild our earthly Providence. To destroy that is truly sacrilege.
Coal mine. Imagine...
In the U.S they would move the building to another location. Don't tell me that's not possible because an entire French Indian war fort was moved just outside my Home town, I'm sure that was much more challenging than this church would have been.

I'm an atheist but this is really sad to see, even if the church might not have been in use or in bad shape that doesn't mean anyone should completely destroy it.
What too many don’t seem to be aware of:
-this church is ‚only‘ late 19th C.
-It is not torn down because of some supposed anti religious sentiments
-the people of the community most definately were NOT okay with it’s destruction.
- The latter is evident by the fact the village/town around the church has already also been torn down almost completely.
-this is one of many villages/towns, that were disowned, and completely erased, to feed the whole landscape to giant open pit mining enterprizes, who will not let their profits be reduced one cent, even if it irreperably damages the climate and obliterates the planets surface and the communities on it.
And this christians think so high of themselves bc they care about a stupid building more than the very town where it was located
Those buildings can easily be repurposed into libraries, museums, places of heritage and history. Buildings should not remain contingent to its original purpose, much like how we have ancient Greek and Roman temples today, or the pyramids of Giza, without necessarily paying reverence to those long extinct religions that inspired them in the first place. There is no glory or pride in senseless destruction. Historical buildings contain a unique essence of its own independent of human ideologies that house them, that can last long well after we have all gone extinct. When you tear down ancient structures, you tear down a history of ourselves as humans, you destroy evidence of craftsmanship, of the knowledge and skills used to construct them, the quality of the styles, materials, the artisanship, the thousands of man hours working on it who poured their bIood and sweat putting it together. Stone masonry is an extremely labour-intensive and difficult art... and people like these seem to have no appreciation of that. It's as disgraceful as N4Zl book-burning or terrorists blowing up ancient wonders. And I am as atheistic as they come. By all means let's bIow everything up, let's destroy everything of your own culture - everything, until you have nothing left, because all you will have is the title of a destroy-er, which really requires zero skill or IQ or respect whatsoever. Chances are one will leave this earth from a mass produced concrete carton box devoid of character or any real depth, while I rather die an atheist in an overgrown ruin of an ancient place admiring the works of our ancestors and it shall be a timeless experience. If there is a divine at least then I would have paid my respects to the life I was given and to this sacred earth we were gifted with. It takes painstaking effort to be human, and only the unhuman destroy beauty.
I agree with you, but there's no way to repurpose a church which is in the way of an opencast coal mine.

As for it being a church building, remember the church is the people and it wouldn't be the first time the church has had to meet where available including each others homes. This is a building not THE church, albeit it should have been criminal vandalism to have destroyed it as it was such an architectural gem.
It is only 140 years old, calm your tits, we have pubs and houses older that that. And the Church sold the building, it was not taken by force.

And why has this happened? 1: Renewables just cannot compete against oil, gas and nuclear. Renewables is what Chancellor Angela Merkel wanted for Germany. She wanted to force Germany to rely on renewables 100%, but so-called green energy just could not supply the needed energy.
2: Germany has shut down eight of its 17 reactors and pledged to close the rest by the end of 2022, this is large part is attributed to Merkel's decision. A reaction after the disaster at Fukushima (power plants built from the early 70's and never upgraded) .
