Frauenkirche Dresden

History

Bähr's church

After the Gothic church had to be temporarily closed at the beginning of the 18th century on account of it being in a state of disrepair, the Council of the City of Dresden decided to erect a completely new building in 1722. They commissioned the city master carpenter George Bähr to build the church. He planned a masterpiece whose unmistakable dome was to become a landmark of the city of Dresden.
