Dresden - more reconstructions

The reconstruction of the “Neumarkt“ has almost been finalised. So onto the next one.

The plan is to reconstruct at least part of the „Neustädter Markt“, which lies straight across from the Neumarkt, on the other side of the Elbe.

The reconstruction of the Narrenhäusel is set to start soon (pic 1).

Then Baroque buildings in the Grosse Meissner Street will follow (pic 2). This street was badly destroyed (pic 3) but could have been reconstructed right after the war. The Communists rather tore it all down.

One building miraculously survived. The Communists still wanted to tear it down. The people rose up and it was saved (pic 4).

More reconstructions will hopefully follow on the Königsufer (pic 5).

The whole initiative is funded by private money. The city is trying to sabotage the entire plan as best as it can. Yes, really.
