Pforzheim:

image hosted on flickr

Pforzheim von Eigenmatrix auf Flickr

The "old town" of Pforzheim was burned down by the Catholic League at the end of Thirty Years' War. It was also destroyed by the French in the Nine Years' War and finally totally rubbished in WWII.

"The largest raid, and one of the most devastating area bombardments of World War II, was carried out by the Royal Air Force (RAF) on the evening of 23 February 1945. About one quarter of the town's population, over 17,000 people, were killed in the air raid, and about 83% of the town's buildings were destroyed." Wikipedia

The Pforzheim of today is not really beautiful.

The British Airforce completely destroyed Magdeburg, too. It was in the last days of WWII, when 90% of the old-town and 15 churches were bombed for no reason but madness. Magdeburg was well known for Germany´s most beautiful Baroque streets.

We should start calling it Schlossland instead of Deutschland! What's the name of the beautiful castle on a hill close to hildesheim? I visited it but i can't remember the name.

edit: i found it, schloss marienburg. Zauberhaft!
