Hi all,

between March and mid August I build a scaled model of the Frauenkirche in Dresden (Church of our lady). The real church was nearly fully destroyed in the last days of WW II and encouraged people decided after the german reunification in the 1990’s to collect money worldwide and to rebuild this baroque building with the eye-catching sandstone dome.

The construction around the the darker parts of the ruin where finished last year in October and there was I big celebration while the Frauenkirche was reopend for the public.

In March 2006 I managed to visit the church and after seeing all the old and new bircks I decided to build my own LEGO model mostly using tan and dark grey for the facade.

For a more detailed report on the church and the building process please feel free to surf to: http://www.holgermatthes.de/frauenkirche/en/

Wow! This is what I think of doing when I happen to pass a really nice castle or bridge, or when I see an airplane or som unusual or colorful heavy vehicle. I am stunned to see the result of this thought being executed to its full conclusion. Thankyou very much for this inspirational eyefeast!
