Germany: 7-8

This card is DE-534162 and shows the Dresden Frauenkirche which is a Lutheran church which was built between 1726 and 1743. It was almost entirely destroyed during WWII and rebuilt in the 1990s in the original style, incorporating the few original pieces that remained standing. The first stamp shows a Tulip and was released on the 8th September 2005 and the second stamp shows the Adoration of Holy Three kings, a Cologne board painting and was released on the 1st November 2008.
This next card shows the inside of the above Church and I received it from the History Box Round Robin Group 66 (from Apperveilche). The first stamp is the same as above and the second stamp was issued to celebrate 600 years of Leipzig University which has alumni such as Nietzsche and Angela Merkel. The stamp was released on the 2nd July 2009.
