  Dresden is an important city in Germany. There are many famous historical buildings. However, it was almost torched by the Allies during World War II. After World War II, a large number of new buildings sprang up like mushrooms. For the damaged old buildings, Germans often adopt the attitude of protection and reconstruction.
  Notre Dame is a landmark building in Dresden. In 1945, Allied forces launched two days and two nights of carpet bombing on Dresden. The high temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius melted almost everything in the church, including the organ played by the famous musician Bach himself. A 13-metre-high wall symbolizes the eternal pain that the war has inflicted on the people of Dresden. The memory of history is painful. After the reunification of Germany, the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral has also been put on the agenda. On October 30, 2005, the renovated Notre Dame Cathedral was officially opened. Tens of thousands of Germans gathered outside Notre Dame Cathedral to celebrate the rebirth of the world-famous Notre Dame Cathedral in Dresden. In 1993, Notre Dame Cathedral was rebuilt as a place of faith and hope. In order to better preserve its original features, many relics were carefully preserved and became part of the materials for church construction. Even every stone must be placed in its original position. The restored Notre Dame Cathedral is about 91 meters high and the top of the tower is 7 meters high. Five meters, one third of the stones came from the original ruins. The appearance basically maintained the original style, magnificent murals and sculptures, elegant color matching, the pursuit of dynamic artistic beauty, the grand circular dome, and the simple and free external shape.
  The Baroque Church has the most beautiful roof and the best sound effect in the world. This classic place can be compared with St. Pauls Church in London and even St. Peters Cathedral in the Vatican. The rebuilt cathedral, even the organ played by Bach many times in this cathedral, has been repaired on the basis of some debris. Sitting in the cathedral listening to the organ playing, the sound of the waves generally rush into the ears, a sense of awe arises spontaneously. It is said that Bach, who loved court music very much when he was young, had visited this place at the age of 22. In his later life, Mr. Bach had visited it six times again. Nowadays, many famous historical buildings in Dresden, such as the Sepa Opera House, the Chloetse Cathedral and some avant-garde pop squares, can also hold various concerts and festivals, and many restaurants, bars and clubs have also set up the banner of music, both strange and weird; there are Indian, gay and baron. Shile also has blues. A new Dresden, with its own music, presents itself as a young man in the world, and so does architecture.

Not far from Notre Dame Church, there is now a very modern and fashionable neighbor, a theatre similar to the Crystal Palace. Many Dresdonians believe that the architectural style of the Crystal Palace is provocative to tradition. The asymmetric and transparent structure of Dresden, a multi-purpose theater, looks like a giant crystal. The design of this cinema does not follow any obvious symmetrical pattern. It has been built for more than eight years, and it still arouses tremendous repercussions. This special building was designed by some architects of Blue Sky Group Design Company in Vienna, who are famous for designing multi-functional buildings.
  Wolf Prix, the chief architect of Blue Sky Group, commented on his design: We have a great opportunity to turn this dangerous tendency into a favorable condition, as long as we can convince developers who are engaged in commercial buildings in urban centers to realize that multi-functional buildings can represent the trend of future architecture. The owner of the multi-purpose theatre, Walker, fought hard for his futuristic building. Many people in Dresden felt that the expressionist building made of glass, steel frame, concrete and aluminium alloy was incompatible with the identity of the citys historic core. However, Walker was finally convinced that the design represented the future of the building. In the past, cinemas were only places where people met for two hours and watched movies in dark seats. Since the success of the multi-functional transformation, cinemas have been greatly improved and become places for people to meet and talk before and after watching movies. The sloping terrace of the cinema is smooth and smooth, without any decoration. It has no wood floor or carpet. The cinema on eight floors in the building can seat 2600 people, but as long as you get inside, you will feel luxurious and comfortable. Its not like buildings that are isolated from the outside world. When people enter the cinema, they feel warm as soon as they come in. Here you feel warm gradually. Here, there is a process of temperature change. The steel frame and glass structure of the building make the middle hall transparent and clear, attracting the outside audience to come in.
  Speaking of Berlin, the capital of Germany, everyone knows it very well. The Berlin Wall recorded too many historical vicissitudes. With the demolition of the Berlin Wall and the merger of East and West Berlin, this ancient city has been rejuvenated with new vitality. In the old Soviet-style buildings left by East Berlin, new buildings sprang up like mushrooms after a spring rain. The Potsdam Square complex is a dazzling star in modern German architecture. Its Berlin.
