		The Frauenkirche was not all that old, a Baroque building completed in 1743, but it was the largest Protestant church in Germany, which is strange considering its dedicatee.
		The Frauenkirche was the centrepiece of the city known as "Florence on the Elbe," until heavy American and British bombing obliterated its 18th-century splendour three months before the end of the war.
		For years afterwards, Dresden was more an Abhorrence on the Elbe, with the rubble of the wartime bombing barely relieved by the acres of Stalinist concrete housing that sprang up after the war.

	All is NOT Right with the Reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in Dresden!!!!!!!!
		And, it makes no sense whatever to do anything other than provide the Frauenkirche with a replica of the Gottfried Silbermann that was the raison d'être for the anecdote about Bach's dedicatory recital that is the only reason that many had ever heard of the Frauenkirche, much less cared about its reconstruction.
		This desecration of the Frauenkirche, this betrayal of the goals of this magnificent reconstruction, this insult to Georg Bähr, to Gottfried Silbermann, and to Johann Sebastian Bach MUST BE STOPPED!
		Ludwig Güttler's musicological hypocrisies and deceptions are not welcome within the Frauenkirche or anywhere else in the reconstruction of historic Dresden, for that matter.
