Germany: Dresden Frauenkirche

Today I got three postcards: one from Germany, one from the Vatican and one from Malaysia.

The card from Germany shows the Frauenkirche in Saxony's capital Dresden. The Dresden Frauenkirche was built between 1726 and 1743. In the Bombing of Dresden in the World War II the church was damaged and later it collapsed gutted. In East Germany it was kept as ruin and was a memorial against the war. Between 1994 and 2005 after the German Reunification the church was rebuilt.


With matching stamp:
Dresden (from set of two) (issued 03-04-2014)


Thank You very much Mirko!
