The Frauenkirche, the central cathedral of Dresden, was almost completely destroyed in the bombing in WWII. It stood -- or the remnants of it stood -- for decades as a memorial to the destruction of the war during the Communist rule. After unification, a debate arose as to whether or not the building should be rebuilt. Many argued that Dresden should have its cathedral back; others said it should stand as a testament to the destruction of war. Those wanting it to be rebuilt won, but the stones that are added will be a lighter color than the old stones that stood in the church's destructed state. That will attest to what was destroyed, as well as what will be rebuilt. I apologize for the size of the photo below, but that was the only way I thought people could actually read this description. Obviously, the above photo doesn't show much of the church because of the scaffolding. I'll try to dig up and scan some older pictures I have of it (though so far I haven't been able to find them) and post them -- as a destroyed church it was a sobering and powerful monument against war.
