On 20th February 1992, the Dresden city council consented to the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche. The approval plans were submitted to the surveyor’s office on 21st July 1992. The ‘Frauenkirche Foundation Dresden e.V.’ actually started its work on 1st October 1992.  

The scaffolding that had been erected in the GDR era to secure the north-west corner tower was used to plot the outer façade. At the same time building activities began to prevent the loss of further stones.

The Architekten- und Ingenieurgemeinschaft GmbH IPRO Dresden was commissioned with the overall planning of the rebuilding project, except for the civil engineering services. These have been placed under the responsibility of the Ingenieurgemeinschaft Dr. Jäger / Prof. Wenzel for the whole project. Prof. Jörg Peter was appointed stress analysis engineer.
