leipzig rebuilds itself with style


for some absurd reason, the DDR leaders decided to destroy a brilliant church on this site. recently the architects of the university decided to build a wonderful postmodern building which pays sincere homage to the late great church, while maintaining an awesome present presence on the augustplatz which it shares with the gewandhaus and the opera house. BRAVO! the fountain adds a neo-classic gravitas to the whole scene....
