Hi Gary,

many thanks for your bi-lingual feedback and comments!

While gathering information I used several websites and two nice books. I know most of the whole history of the church right now. Even when it was build in the 18th century the folks didn’t know how it would look like in the end.

It was planned to make the big dome as a wooden construction covered with copper. While building higher and higher they realized the enormous costs. So they’ve decided to use sandstone instead of copper. That caused trouble with the stability and statics of the main columns and the other walls of the church. In the 20th century they did lots of repairs to keep the church alive.

Modern CAD technic helped to plan the new rebuild Frauenkirche and I hope it will be there for many many years. The color will change and within 100 years all the tan sandstone will become darker. Perhaps I have to rebuild the church in 2106 in old and new darkgrey?

   Holger, now you have to build the neighboring Zwinger and Semper Opernhaus out of Lego! :-)

First of all I have to finish the inside with more benches, altar and organ. Should I go on and google for zwinger and Semper Opera?
