Two new statues will also be unveiled, one to the 32,000 civilians killed in the Allied bombing of Dresden and Hamburg. And the ruin itself, already a world-famous symbol for peace and reconciliation, will be rededicated to all civilians killed in conflict.

The £1million target includes the cost of urgent repairs, including stabilising and fixing a huge crack which threatens to destroy one of the ancient sandstone walls.
