Summary:

In 1945 the ancient City of Dresden was destroyed by massive bombardments and much of its rich architectural heritage appeared to have been obliterated forever. Over the last half-century, however, Dresden has been lovingly reconstructed with the active collaboration of its citizens. This process, now culminating in the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche (the Church of Our Lady) is documented in this unique book. Partial Contents: THE REVIVAL OF THE CITY: The Destruction of Dresden; Condition, Responsibilities and Objectives of Urban Development in Dresden; The Contribution of Preservationists to the Reconstruction of the Semper Opera House; Restoration of the Castle in Dresden; The Reconstruction of Taschenberg Palace; The Conservation of the Neustadt District as Part of the Cultural Cityscape. THE FRAUENKIRCHE: The Citizens' Initiative to Promote the Rebuilding; A Construction of Stone and Iron - Structural Concept for Reconstruction of the Dresden Frauenkirche; Structural Proof-Checking Using a Complete 3D FE-Model; George Bahr's Constructional Concept and the Reconstruction of the Cupola.
