chaseracer Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Initially, I was pleasantly surprised that the Goethehaus appeared to have survived the bombing of Frankfurt am Main during WW2... But it was too good to be true... What we see today is a 1949 facsimile. hennabm 1
Junkman Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Note that they loved even bigger bloody V8s in Zell.And there is a '66 Chevelle Malibu in front of the houses I don't recognise.
Junkman Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Initially, I was pleasantly surprised that the Goethehaus appeared to have survived the bombing of Frankfurt am Main during WW2... But it was too good to be true... What we see today is a 1949 facsimile. Ironically the bombing took place on 22 March 1944, 112 years to the day Goethe died.However, the house had already been sold by his mother in 1795, including all contents.It passed through several owners before it was acquired by a trust, that reverted it toits perceived originality according to Goethe's autobiography.So what was bombed was already a reconstruction. The Goethe Haus in Weimar is a different story, though. However, the contents of both houses were already taken into safe storage before theywere destroyed. Imagine the loss if that wouldn't have been done. I once slept (and did other things) in the garden pavillion of the Weimar Goethe Hauswhen there still proudly was a DDR, since I had an understanding with one of the femalemuseum attendants at the time. mercrocker, chaseracer and richardthestag 3

Pretty nice strategic choice, you didn't get unnoticed though.From the Stasi archives:http://www.app-in-die-geschichte.de/document/54835 Junkman, hennabm and richardthestag 3

What we see today is a 1949 facsimile. you think of ^^ it as a bad thing? post war regeneration in the UK gave us such gifts as Exeter, Bristol, Birmingham and Croydon amongst many other examples. May not walk on the same boards etc but still a nice thing to see
chaseracer Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 No, not a bad thing at all - it's good that it exists, but it needs to be seen for what it is. The buildings either side are more representative of vernacular postwar reconstruction; in Germany, France and the UK. richardthestag and Junkman 2
Junkman Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 The buildings either side are more representative of vernacular postwar reconstruction; in Germany, France and the UK. Which is itself disappearing at a rapid rate.I hope some examples will be listed before this era buildings are gone without a trace. Are they ugly? In a way, yes. But they aren't being replaced with anything nice either. chaseracer 1

In a way, yes. But they aren't being replaced with anything nice either. Southampton is a prime example of WW2 destruction, epic post-war rebuilding and subsequent 21st century redevelopment into a jumble of un-related, mis-matching flatpack mid-rises. There is hardly anything left of the city I grew up in and I never visit it now. We had stuff like this... The cruise terminal is now a shed such as you might find on a mushroom farm but God only knows what now lurks at the Polygon. Like I say, I never go there now..... RayMK and Junkman 2
