Indeed!
Hitler was terrible and all the other nazis as well
but that doesn´t justify many of the injustices
done to Germany and germans before, during
and after the two world wars.
It´s more complicated than that.
Life and the world is, as we all know, unfair.

Come on people. Germany is a beautiful country. Look to the future!

Grunnen · October 11th, 2010, 10:00 PM

Exactly. Isn't the combination of wonderful landscapes, nice architecture and vernünftige people, what makes Germany such a great country?

Fantastic, what a Kleinod. Never seen it, thanks!

@Justme: call it delusional as much as you want, in the real world NOTHING is as black and white as is constantly suggested for 1933-45. Dark grey is NOT the same as black.

I should know, I was there in 1945 and personally helped bring down Hitler. Now, am I delusional, or is it just a grey bit of history?

Anyway, why are you bringing politics into a photo thread of Germany. Let's just enjoy the wonderful photos of Germany today. I think anyone who thinks about the loss of the many beautiful buildings that were there before feels sadness, but if you want to talk politics start a political thread

Bringing down Hitler and the nazis is one thing...
Bringing down thousands of buildings (with civilians in them) in hundreds of german cities something completely different.
Or at least it should have been.

Well done, but that doesnt prove me wrong.

Anyway, in addition to the previous series on towers, here is a recent one: Landmarke Lausitzer Seen (2008). It is located in the Lausitz coal mining area, where today most of the coal is gone and all thats left are big holes in the ground. These holes will be flooded to form a new landscape dominated by lakes. The now still deserted looking surroundings are hoped to become renaturated so they will provide a recreational value.
The edged plain steel look of the tower is supposed to be a reminder on the industrial relevance the area has/had. It probably will look totally tacky in 2018, when the seaforming is planned to be finished.

Ilsesee, Lausitz: Pier waiting for the lake to rise.

But it will take some more time:

GERMAN IS AMAZING ARCHITECTURE!

Another Romanesque church in Cologne, which is, in my opinion, more beautiful than the much more renowned cathedral is St. Aposteln (St. Apostles' Church).
The today's church was built since 1150, beginning with the west tower (67 m high) in addition to an older church.
Ca. 1200 a new east choir was added with three apses (a trikonchos-choir) and a domed crossing.
Ca. 1250 the nave got new vaults.
Air raids heavily damaged the church (1944/45).
