Dresden Frauenkirche Before and After WWII from Germany

 

 On 13th October 2005 Deutsche Post has issued a stamp to celebrate the reconsecration of the Dresden Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady). It took 17 years to build this church in the first half of the 18th Century, and it took much less to destroy it completely during the WWII in 1945. It took other 12 years to rebuild it between 1994 and 2006. The picture on the postcard was taken in 1935, the stamp shows how the dome looks nowadays.
