Hanse Kent Mirasında “Yaşayan Arşiv”: Stralsund Mönchstraße 38’in Mimari ve Restorasyon Analizi

Mönchstraße 38, a 700-year-old building in Stralsund’s historic center, exemplifies the concept of a 'living archive,' preserving layers of architectural, social, and cultural evolution with archaeological precision. Unlike traditional restoration that prioritizes physical integrity, this approach emphasizes narrative and societal continuity, revealing how spatial and structural elements reflect Hanseatic trade, social stratification, and temporal transformations. The study employs documentation, archival analysis, spatial-structural assessment, on-site observations, and layered reading to evaluate the 1996–1999 restoration process, comparing pre- and post-intervention data alongside archaeological finds and historical maps. By contrasting Ruskin’s and Brandi’s conservation philosophies, the research highlights Mönchstraße 38 as a model for interdisciplinary preservation, digital documentation, and community engagement, embodying Stralsund’s cultural memory in its spatial manifestation.
