Here's a Before, In-Between, and After series showing the Frankfurt Dom (Cathedral), which was severely damaged during the various Allied bombings in World War II, then gradually restored. I photographed the In-Between in December, 1947. The foreground shows the meager Chrismas Fair being held in the Römerberg Platz. To get the high angle I c,imbed into the ruins of one of the three famous Altstadt Römerberg houses, now beautifully restored.
The churches in Germany and Austria had similar pictures inside the church. I found them amazing and very encouraging. So glad that the reconstruction happened and that so many people devoted the time and effort to do so! At the time that we were there, I couldn't photo the interior those churches we visited because of lack of light and restrictions on flash,etc.
