An amazing place. Given the obvious destruction by 1945 then the legacy of the wall, redevelopment and a very strong economy have made for unique opportunities for them too. Dresden and Frankfurt have some similar circumstance yet have been reborn in completely differnt ways. I have to say that Frankfurt is a good place for an airport but lacks the soul and vibrancy of Berlin. A city of bankers (some pics to follow). Dresden at least the CBD, is essentially some of the old stone and a LOT of new stone painstakingly reassembled into the original old buildings. Very different. But then I think some 80% of that city was levelled and scorched. 2009/6/28 Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > Geoff, > > Another nice group.
