The Frauenkirche, considered Germany's most important Lutheran church, is situated on the Neumarkt (new market). It was built between 1723 and 1743, but was badly bombed during World War II and remained an anti-war monument in its rubbled state until the early 1990's. The church was rebuilt recently, true to its original form, using stones from the original structure.© www.uncorneredmarket.com

A waitress insisted that we visit the KunsthofPassage (Art Passage) in Dresden's Neustadt neighborhood. The Art Passage is a series of inter-connected courtyards outfitted with colorful and artistic buildings that house local arts and crafts shops. The shops ply their wares in courtyard stalls; inexpensive, but tasty ethnic food is available from food carts and cafes.Read more about European Christmas Markets and Reflections on Dresden's Christmas Market.

Many buildings in Dresden are being renovated and rebuilt. It's sometimes hard to imagine what the building once looked like, and will look like once again. Photolike images such as these draped over buildings under reconstruction help to fill the imagination until work is complete.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
