The Frauenkirche in Dresden (1726-1743) is one of the greatest expressions of Baroque in Germany. Destroyed by the British bombing in 1945, the church - rather the ruins for more than 40 years - was left "untouched" by the government of the then East Germany, in memory of those terrible bombings. Only when the reunification occurred the reconstruction works have begun and the church was completed in 2006, when was again opened to the public. The cross plan of the church measures 41 by 41 meters, the dome has 12,000 tons and rests on eight pillars and starts at 40 meters high with a diameter of 26 m. In order to faithfully reconstruct the ancient Frauenkirche cathedral, the architects used a high-precision 3D-software. The materials of the historic building that have survived the fire caused by the bombing have been relocated according to their original positions, which is why some parts of the building are blackened. Inside, you can often hear some free concerts, with perfect acoustics.
