The "Peace Church"
Frauenkirke, one of the last places bombed in Germany by the allies, lay in ruins for several decades after WWII. It was a reminder of the horrors of war. Recently, the people of Germany in conjunction with donors throughout the world reconstructed the church. The architectural plan was replicated using old wedding photographs. Salvageable blocks from the original church were interspersed with new construction. The interior is as peaceful as it can be with hundreds of tourists visiting. The new church is a caution to never let such devastation happen again.
