in this newspaper in January 20, 2010 show that the JiNan Railway Station, designed by Fisher, a German architect, is a group of Gothic buildings with a strong baroque style. Even with the old Beijing railway station or the old train station in Shanghai, the old railway station in Ji'nan should be slightly better in appearance.
around this disappearing Gothic group, many citizens, experts and even government departments have put forward a lot of opinions. The Tianqiao District government also proposed the idea of the bell tower of the "rebuilt" railway station in the new planning of the railway station, and has repeatedly communicated with the railway department on this matter.
this newspaper has repeatedly reported on the story behind the building. After a proposal by the CPPCC members to "rebuild" the bell tower near the railway station, the newspaper also followed up in time.
[b] clocks people search for "German bell" [/b]
(June 2008 series report)
June 2008, No. two road, No. 19 German courtyard of the Tianqiao south latitude. Mr. Zhu Wanji, 55, talked about the old JiNan Railway Station. He used to work in the electrical section of the Ji'nan Railway Branch. He helped the Cao and Zhou two masters to maintain the "German bell" in the old railway station every week.
it is learnt that the appearance of the old railway station in Ji'nan is a cylindrical clock building, which is divided into seven floors, with a spiral escalator and a German clock on the top. In March 1992, the new Ji'nan railway station plan was finalized, and the station was demolished in July 1st at 8 hours and 5 minutes. The precise mechanical clock on the old clock tower ceased to rotate.
Mr. Zhu was originally responsible for the maintenance and calibration of clocks. "Every Saturday morning, we take the bell tower from the entrance to the bell tower, take down the two big mound of the clock, then climb up the clocks and watch the roof, adjust the time with the wooden big swing rod with the metal owl, take out the shank and insert it into the machine to the clock... The bell, which has experienced more than 80 years of nearly 80 degrees Celsius's temperature difference between winter and summer, can still accurately report time and win honor for JiNan Railway Station. Together with the clock tower, it condensed in the memory of the Jinan people.
according to Mr. Zhu, the bell was removed and placed in the communication section of the Railway Sub Administration. He hopes to find an insider through this newspaper and share a dream of resurrecting the big bell.
after the announcement of the news, in June 24, 2008, under the hard search, the big bell that had been sleeping for more than ten years in a warehouse in the west suburb of the Ji'nan Railway Bureau was finally found! In a workshop in the west suburb of Ji'nan, a warehouse type room in the third floor of the Ji'nan Railway Bureau, the reporter saw that the big bell was dismantled and placed on the storeroom, four erected. The diameter of the dial on the wall is around 1.3 meters, and the numbers in Arabia are all in the key parts, such as the clockwise and the pin and the rocking handle of the upper chord. However, the cast iron base of the big clock is slightly injured when it is removed, and the wooden pendulum with the metal owl is missing. It has the badge of the German casting maker, which is regrettable. According to the safekeeping department, this big clock is around 2002, they have been placed here when the work section is moved. The staff of this unit are basically unaware of the situation. So, many people think this big clock has disappeared. From the city to the suburbs, the bell had moved home three times before settling down.
bell also went through an auction process. At that time, Mr. Fan said that after the dismantling of the "German bell" in 1992, it had been sold and auctioned by an auction house in the Tianlong railway building in 1998, at a price of 800 thousand yuan at that time.
according to the news report of the newspaper in 1997, it was found that Mr. Fan's statement was inaccurate. Ji'nan Tian Jia auction companies sold the big clock in November 1997. The bottom price was 300 thousand yuan, but it did.
where [b] bell tower resettling [/b]
(June 2008 -7 series report of this newspaper)
a lot of people hope that the departments concerned should be better able to restore the bell tower or the old train station in the same year, to make up that regret of the year.
Mr. Du, a Ji'nan reader, said that when the Shandong Museum of art was built in the early days of the museum, it was envisaged that the bell tower should be rebuilt in the library and contacted with the railway. In the early 90s of last century, the Shandong Museum of art learned that the bell tower of the big bell was to be dismantled and that he had expressed his best opinion, but did not be accepted. When he didn't talk well, he did it.
the news of the disappearance of the great bell in Germany has surprised many people in Ji'nan for many years. Many good suggestions have been put forward for the home of the big bell.
some readers propose to rebuild the original site and restore the original appearance: as the landmark building and traffic building of the old JiNan Railway Station, it is best to make the bell "go to the post", copy and rebuild according to the proportion of 1: 1, and recommend the location near the railway station, and try to use the raw materials left after the first dismantling.
a real estate citizen decided to invest 3 million yuan to rebuild the bell tower in a real estate in the eastern part of Ji'nan, and reinstall the bell.
"the bell keeper" Zhu Wanji believes that the German senior staff apartment of the Jiaoji railway, the south of the German building, is the best address for the building of the bell tower.
some readers pay attention to the new place of German bell from a professional point of view. Mr. Liu, who studies architectural design major, has been engaged in the protection and translation of ancient buildings for many years. Three points are expressed by calling: 1. this old railway station big clock is a card of old Ji'nan. As a traffic historical facility, it should be constructed near the railway or railway station; and 2. the new false bell tower has cut the original historical inheritance and the new one. The environment is difficult to coordinate; 3. can continue the life of the big clock with the display of "behavior art", and display its dial and gear in the right place. It is also a commemoration of the history of Ji'nan train, the history of Jiaoji Railway and the history of the opening of Ji'nan.
Li Ming, director of Ji'nan Institute of archaeology, said the bell and bell tower were one of the most important relics in Ji'nan's history. In addition to the original reconstruction, we can also build the Ji'nan opening History Museum and the Ji'nan railway history exhibition hall. It is much better to place the big clock in the exhibition hall for the citizens to visit than in the storeroom of the railway department.
[b] CPPCC member proposal "rebuilt" old train station [/b]
(2009 -2011 series report)
about the feasibility of rebuilding, Mr. Cui believes that there are many examples of reconstruction, reconstruction and relocation in the history of architecture. The ancient buildings in China are mostly civil structures. In the long history, many of them need to be rebuilt, rebuilt and rebuilt because of natural disasters and natural disasters. There are many foreign examples, such as the German capital in World War II almost flattened, after a number of years after the post-war German rebuilt it, so the reconstruction of the "old railway station" in Ji'nan does not affect its historical value.
about the location of the site, Mr. Cui believes that the current Ji'nan railway station (that is the North Bank of Daming Lake) is very good. It can be built after the completion of the station. It is the best route for sightseeing and public leisure with the Daming Lake, the moat, the four springs, the Quancheng Square and the whole old city. Ma Zikai, Bai Long and other members recommended joint support on this proposal.
the "Reconstruction" of the [b] Tianqiao District government envisaged [/b]
with the demolition of the largest shantytown area of the JiNan Railway Station on the north side of the JiNan Railway Station and the planning of the north square of the railway station, the idea of the bell tower in the rebuilt old railway station in this area, from 2010 to 2011, in the Tianqiao The district government level has emerged.
at the beginning of 2010, Zhang Hui, the former Secretary of the Tianqiao District, told the reporter that in the future, there will be an idea of building the bell tower of a railway station in the future. The district government and himself have been in contact with the railway department, and once the eyebrows are seen, the news will be announced to the media.
by the end of 2011, the main leaders in Tianqiao District revealed again that they were consulting with the planning department for re construction.
in early 2012, Bi Xiaoqi, the new secretary of the District, said in an interview with the newspaper reporter that the proposed reconstruction of the old JiNan Railway Station in the North Square was supported by all aspects, but it was a very complex system project and needed various departments to communicate and cooperate.
the old JiNan Railway Station is very distinctive, the design drawings are in Germany, but the bridge has not yet been linked to the German side, so the next step is to be accelerated. The investment is not a problem, but in the end is the building of a bell tower or the surrounding building group building. After the reconstruction, it is only an exhibition hall, a memorial hall, or the use of its actual function, which can only be studied in concrete planning. In March 2012, the person in charge of the area revealed to our reporter that the overpass area had already commissioned the personnel to handle the original drawings in Germany.
Mr. Zhang Runwu, a member of the Chinese civil house architecture Academic Committee and professor of Shandong Jianzhu University, said that he had already passed the vice chairman of the Ji'nan Municipal Political Consultative Conference, Cui Da Yong ditch. In technical ability, it is still feasible to recover the old Jiande railway station, but it is necessary to get the original design of the station.
