Frauenkirche Dresden (1/300 Schreiber Bogen)172 viewsThis is a 1/300 paper model by Schreiber Bogen of the famous Frauenkirche Dresden (Church of Our Lady). It was built by an engineer/architect/local genius named George Bahr in 1733 out of pure stone. Even the gigantic bell is stone because copper covered wood was too expensive(!). It caught fire in the 1945 Dresden firebombing. Though it wasn’t hit directly, the firestorm consumed the interior furnishings sufficiently weakening the structural piers holding the church bell aloft until it finally collapsed two days later. During the 45 year East German era the site stayed just as it had the day the last stone rolled to a rest. After reunification, the church was completely rebuilt using the original plans and modern adaptations. If you look at the modern façade it is pockmarked with original blackened stones from the original structure found at the site. It’s an uniquely amazing building with an equally amazing history.
