Edifice
In order to commemorate the time when the Frauenkirche was in ruins and to convey impressions of the reconstruction, a small exhibition room was set up. This also illustrates the commitment of donors, sponsors and sustainers.
The exhibition is divided into three thematic areas that need to be emphasized: Original documents from the removal of rubble and artifacts tell of the destruction of the church as a result of the bombing of Dresden and of the efforts to rebuild it. Selected exhibits, drafts, drawings and photos illustrate the phases of the creative process during reconstruction from the first initiatives to the consecration in October 2005. It is particularly important to us to honor the overwhelming commitment of citizens: in the third part of the exhibition, a digital register of donations enables one Insight into the large number of donors.
Thanks to hundreds of thousands of people who have supported the reconstruction worldwide financially or in kind and have accompanied life in the Frauenkirche since its consecration, the goal of the foundation's work "Building bridges - living reconciliation - strengthening faith" can be lived and experienced. The appreciation of those who who have supported the reconstruction and preservation of the church in a variety of ways or continue to do so is a central concern of the exhibition space in the Frauenkirche.
