    Frauenkirche Dresden – Ideas

  

Why building the Frauenkirche Dresden with LEGO?

There are some answers to this question:

  • Massive media coverage while the reopening phase in autumn 2005.
     
  • The new and old bricks from the facade look like tan and darkgrey LEGO bricks.
     
  • A mirco version [top left] was by Oliver (olivgrau). Cool colors but too small ..?
     
  • The tower crane [top right] was build by Bernd (Dr. Brixel). That would be a good starting point for a construction site MOC? But before building a construction site at a late phase you need to build the building. So I started with the building ...
     
  • The Frauenkirche seems to be a complex project for a LEGO model. But I couldn't find any "no-gos". The baroc facade did show some arches where LEGO arches could be used and there might be an idea for the dome somehow.
     
  • The internet provides numberous research opportunities. A must see are the 360 ° tours the German Television ZDF offers (Thanks Thomas for this tip.)
     
  • When I was in Dresden in March for a short business trip I decided to build the LEGO model. See some pictures of the real church in Dresden.
