Donald Watters (Germany) Photographs
HI
All.
Here some pictures taken at the weekend in Dresden, look at
the last two, they could have been taken in Lisburn of
the Town clock. Pictures 2,3 and 4 are of the newly rebuilt
church of the Holy Mother which was totally destroyed in
1945 by the allied forces and rebuilt by subscriptions
from all over the world. Britain presented the dome
which was made by an English goldsmith whose father was
one of the pilots who dropped the bombs. Donald

After reading Ann and Jimmy's comments about the Agfa film I thought these photos might interest some of our forum readers. I was present on Sunday 17.Feb 2008 when the old Agfa Laboratory in Munich was demolished . 18 stories high, it took 120 kilos of explosives to bring it down. Donald |

Hello Jim. Here are some photos taken this morning 21-02-2010 at Blütenburg Castle in Munich, where King Ludwig of Bavaria entertained his Irish born mistress Lola Montez around 1846. Also in the photos is a monument to the inhabitants of Dachau Concentration Camp who in April 1945 shortly before the WW11 ended were marched from the Camp past here to another Camp. The weather was so nice people were sitting outside at the Restaurant tables enjoying the sun. Don |

Hello Jim Here are a few photos from Munich, the first 3 are from Nymphenburg Palace where Queen Elisabeth stays when she is in Munich, the rest are from the Oktoberfest. The church in the background from Nr 6 is where the plane which was taking home American students from the University of Maryland for Xmas in the 1950s lost it's bearings in fog and flew into the spire, crashing on top of a tram with a lot of lives being lost. Regards Don |
