Medieval town of Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, Germany. Once one of the most picturesque and pristine Late Medieval towns in Europe. Destroyed on March 22nd, 1945, one month before the War’s end
viktor72 says It’s such a pretty place. Also there’s a tree there that’s been growing for a millennium or more!
schmitizensane says the good news is it looks like they have restored a lot of the city center over the last 30-40 years, perhaps a local can confirm
_1JackMove says What a real shame this was destroyed. It is quaint and elegant all at once. Like something out of a storybook.
