      The Frauenkirche in Dresden (originally the Church of Our Lady[1] - the name refers to Saint Mary) is a Baroque Evangelical Lutheran church and the defining monumental building of Dresden's Neumarkt. It is considered a magnificent example of Protestant sacred architecture, has one of the largest stone church domes north of the Alps and is considered one of the largest sandstone buildings in the world.

      The Dresden Frauenkirche was built from 1726 to 1743 based on a design by George Bähr and became an emblem of both Dresden's Baroque and the famous city skyline. At the end of the Second World War, it was badly damaged by the firestorm raging in Dresden during the air raids on Dresden on the night of February 13th and 14th, 1945 and collapsed, burned out, on the morning of February 15th. The ruins were preserved in the GDR and were left as a memorial against war and destruction.

      After the fall of the Wall, the clearing of rubble began in early 1993 and the reconstruction of the church building began in 1994. The work, completed in 2005, was largely financed by support associations and donors from all over the world, including the US “Friends of Dresden”. On October 30, 2005, a consecration service and ceremony took place in the Frauenkirche. The ruin now became a symbol of reconciliation.

        It's almost a miracle how beautifully this church has been restored. A sign that our architects and craftsmen of today are also able to create something beautiful like their former colleagues.
