Dresden - Details

Martin Luther looks skywards in front of the Frauenkirche. He is probably as surprised as I am because of the suddenly appearing blue sky.
The next pictures show a couple of architectural details to give an impression how playful the (remaining) old buildings of Dresden are designed.


And finally here it is as a whole: Europes newest old building, the reconstructed Frauenkirche. A truly beautiful building, inside and outside. Why don't we construct more of that kind nowadays?
By the way: only the very dark part of it on the left hand side was remaining after the war until very few years ago...
