Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst
Kreuzkirche in 1945
- ... that Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst (How Deserted Lies the City) is a motet that Rudolf Mauersberger composed after the bombing of Dresden and first performed in the destroyed Kreuzkirche (pictured)? Source: [1]

Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 23:32, 15 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Gerda Arendt: Just a passing comment, but I think this hook could be even more appealing if you reworded it slightly:

- Thank you for the offer. It missed that he was also the leading performer, for those who don't associate his name with having been Kreuzkantor, and has passive voice, but I won't fight over that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: thank you for this great article. It is new enough (created and nominated on 9 Nov), long enough (13k characters), and has no eligibility problems. AGF it is sourced and upholds neutrality. Earwig gives a score of 37.9% but that is beause of the quotation "The music to which ... for his city", so no worries for that. Hook is cited and I confirm the hook appears in the source (through translator). The hook brings general interest, and I find it thought-provoking together with the picture of the damaged Kreuzkirche. I have no preference over the two hooks suggested. Other than that, picture is clear and QPQ confirmed. Conclusion:
