 It's strange you would use these four pictures as examples of beautiful old "gone" Berlin, when all of those photos are of buildings that still exist and are standing just as they were then, today!  I do know what you mean though, as much of old Berlin was lost in the bombings. Just not the buildings in the photos posted. Some of them were reconstructed, but those photos look very much the same today now (minus the old cars LOL). So don't be too sad!

 I've always loved how that castle looks looming over the town on the river like that. Like a fairytale. |

Actually, you are right. Almost all of the more important landmarks Berlin (and other German cities) had are still standing today. And next year the Stadtschloss (castle) aka Humboldtforum will be reconstructed as well...BUT...it's all those beautiful and elaborate residential buildings, that are gone. Probably gone forever, because there seems to be no need or reason to reconstruct them. And that's the thing, I'm sad about the most. Look for example at Dresden. In the city centre there today is just one smaller church missing. Every other landmark is still standing (again). But without all the streets lined with the baroque and neo baroque residential buildings, the city will never be the same again. |

We even have them in some of the greatest prime locations. Take a look along the river Main in central Frankfurt. This is probably the best possible real estate in the city. Nothing is more sort after in property than water views, especially waterfront views and the added bonus on the south side of the river is the city views over the water. Yet in central Frankfurt you still find cheap, run down 1950's apartments over looking the river, some so poorly planned they never thought of putting balcony's to enjoy the river views. Crazy. At least outside of the central city you can see modern apartments going up along the waterfront. But they were not built by replacing the old 1950's rubbish. Hey, I shouldn't knock the architecture in this thread as it is about the beautiful side of German cities, and as evident from the photos here, there certainly are quite a few

Very cool!
Might I suggest some more towns? Augsburg, Tübingen, Regensburg, Lindau, Mittenwald, Nürnberg, Nördlingen, Regensburg, Passau, Berchtesgaden, Stralsund, Heidelberg, etc.

Beautiful country!
What a pity, that numerous of delightful samples of architecture have been irrevocably lost during the WWII!

Someone asked for Heidelberg. A small but extremely popular and famous city in the state Baden-Württemberg. Most famous are Heidelberg's castle and university.

But thanks should go to my helpers in this thread as well.(Thanks for the awesome Passau pictures, Bavarian Angelshark!) Munich, out of all three cities with over a million inhabitants, is my favorite by far too. |

In the 19th century the city in the Black Forest was one of the most famous and popular spatowns in Europe...only by the very rich though. image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/manuela-bacsik/1849515138/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/bernard-pics/470490768/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/graphicintent/432820716/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/8132208@N08/2930610869/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dierkschaefer/3326258193/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/bernard...7600116582404/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dierksc...n/photostream/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dierkschaefer/3327106930/ |

Marvellous photos, Tiaren!
 We should open such a thread in the German forum as well, shouldn't we?
