subject to alterations

The Frauenkirche was erected between 1726 and 1743, following the designs of George Bähr.
Its characteristic dome, called the "stone bell" owing to its shape, collapsed on February 15th, 1945 under the rain of bombs.
An anti-war monument during the GDR period, the rebuilding is finished now. The Frauenkirche is a symbol of conciliation, largely with donations from German and international foundations.
The Neumarkt quarter around the church is also to regain its status as the historical heart of the city. The majority of the Baroque townhouses - in combination with modern buildings - are to be completed in time for the city`s 800-year jubilee in 2006.
