The Martin Luther Statue Lives On
The statue was erected in front of the Frauenkirche in 1700, a memorial to the protestant Reformer leader. Its dome was bombed in 1945. But the statue proved indestructible. This scene makes for quite a miraculously inspiring juxtaposition, where the triumphant statue of Luther emerges out of the rubble of the Frauenkirche behind.
The city’s rubble in the background remained untouched for 45 years as a sad reminder of the 25,000 people who lost their lives.
The Flatiron Building In New York
This iconic building, pictured in 1903, with street sweepers and horse-drawn carriages, was not named for its shape, but rather the shape of the ground it was built on.
The impressive building housed the offices of the George A. Fuller Company. The triangular plot is bordered by 22nd and 23rd Streets, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway. You have probably seen this incredibly shaped building in all manner of films and television shows, and always wondered what it was used for.
