Great video. The most impressive thing about Dresden is that almost every "historic" building you see, is in reality barely 10 years old. It was all reconstructed in the last decades (except for a few churches and palaces which barely survived the war). The Frauenkirche on which you are standing at 4:00 was built and completed in 2007 as well as the whole old town square with its buildings. And even the very few buildings which survived the war, were left as burned out ruins until the 1990s. The East German government obviously didn't reconstruct the city and even replaced the former old town quarters with socialist panel buildings and tower blocks. But Dresden is of course still a very small shadow of its former self. The city was named as one of the pearls of Europe and Europes most beautiful city. But even with the reconstructions, its far away from that title today... Luckily there are even new reconstruction projects for the city. The city council plans to reconstruct a small palace and a part of the old town on the other bank of the river. The reconstruction of Dresden is still an ongoing process...
Thank you for sharing ! That's very interesting, I didn't know that the reconstruction process was still ongoing, but yet again I now remember they were literally renovating the Zwinger building when I was there. I definitely want to visit again in the future!
Thanks for the great, boots on the ground, share! So much beautiful, ancient architecture. Glad that It was not all bombed out of existence. Enjoyed and thanks again!
@@ericacutten5593 Wow!!! I bet that was a "herculean "effort! It truly is hard to fathom that kind of restoration. It's so beautiful and elaborate. It takes forever to do the simplest builds these days.
@@wyodino6245 i can only imagine all the planning and effort put into restoring the old town of the city back to how it would've looked like before WWII, here are the timestamps if you want to hear and see it again 02:06 & 04:04
