Title: Dresden cathedral background to ruin.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: DRESDEN CATHEDRAL BACKGROUND TO RUIN #c-3046 DRESDEN, Germany -- Dresden’s famous Hof Kirche, the Court Church of the Saxon kings (left background), was badly damaged during the war, but rebuilding work is going on now. The Hof Kirche was built from 1739-56. Its parapets were adorned by the statues of 59 saints, some of which are still standing (left and center). The tower rising in the background is 272 feet high. A covered passage (center) leads from the church to the Royal Palace. Dresden is in the Russian zone of occupation. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-MES-3D-6-C)
