Lonely Planet review for Frauenkirche
The domed Frauenkirche, which is one of Dresden's most beloved symbols, has literally risen from the ashes of the city. The original, designed by Georg Bähr, graced Dresden's skyline for two centuries before collapsing two days after the February 1945 bombing. The GDR left the rubble there as a war memorial, but after reunification a grass-roots movement to rebuild the landmark gained momentum. It was consecrated in November 2005, a year ahead of schedule.
