I am absolutely in love with Potsdam. What a beautiful and wonderful city!

[@botswanainsight3804]

Sad that such centuries of history has all been reduced to WW2 history somehow. Wish more if Berlin could be rebuilt to pre war architecture

[@TheGogeta222]

The reason why it don't happen are lefts they hate every architecture besides brutalism

[@botswanainsight3804]

@@TheGogeta222 Sad, am African but i love old eruopean architecture, so called new & modern architecture is just not my thing. Take an example how Nuremberg & Munich were painstakingly rebuilt but was worth it,same cannot be said of Frankfurt

[@mariankramer267]

@@botswanainsight3804 ever been to the new frankfurt oldtown from 2017? they rebuilt 15 old medieval houses and the römer ist nice too. they´re also rebuilding the town hall tower. so- things are getting better

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

@@mariankramer267 Thanks alot of informing. That makes me happy. But how are they going to rebuild something if it was fully destroyed? Do they know the old designs?

[@mariankramer267]

@@RamMohammadJosephKaur there are hundrets of photos of the pre war buldings, they also put parts of the original buildings into the new reconstructed ones - so it´s not all fake . there were so many frankfurters that wished a part of the oldtown to come back and now it´s really pretty and shows how the city once looked like,

One city left , koenigsberg if only they can get it back it would be wonderful, now it's called kaliningrad, I want to throw when I hear this name, from medieval architecture to communists buildings. Koenigsberg has given the world endless number of scientists

Soviet Leader, Michail Gorbachev actually offered West German Chancellor, Helmut Kohl Königsberg. But Kohl turned down the offer fearing even more pressure from France and Britain who were fearing (or better should I say Magaret Thatcher) that Germany might become a new threat. Another reason why he turned down the offer was that there were literally no Germans there anymore, only Russians and a few Lithuanians, the German Goverment didn‘t really see any point in taking over a whole chunk of land which didn‘t even speak german which would make it all to complicated to integrate into the rest of Germany. Oh and did I forget to say that there is the over 300 km long Polish corridor in between?

[@karlheven8328]

@@scanida5070 that was a trap by Gorbie. Or he trapped himself. That would never have happened, the allies would not have allowed it. And then we would have had millions of Russians in our country. Not necessarily a great tradeoff. Kohl was very smart and did not fall for it.

Let's set up a fundraising to buy back East Prussia. Germany doesn't seem whole without it.

[@haisheauspforte1632]

Wozu? Ich glaube es gibt nicht viele Menschen in Deutschland, die ihr jetziges Zuhause aufgeben wollen, um in irgendein strukturschwaches Gebiet, abgeschnitten vom Rest, zu ziehen. Völliger Nonsens. Die Leute wollen ja schon nicht in den neuen Bundesländern wohnen, wir brauchen nicht noch einen entvölkerten Landstrich, das ist doch ein riesiges Verlustgeschäft. Von den armen Russen, die ihre Heimat verlassen müssten mal ganz zu schweigen.

Why doesn't Germany restore its old architecture in other cities too?

[@fjellyo3261]

Because it's expensive to do so. Lol.and to just go back in time isn't always a good thing. For example skyscrapers are nowadays a common thing for big cities.

[@akshitanand7374]

@@fjellyo3261 Scyscrapers are ugly.

[@afjo972]

„Germany“ is not in charge of reconstructing buildings. The local city councils are. And in some cities they are averse to reconstructions because of the complicated history. Also, there are too many modernist architects in Germany who think traditional architecture is backwards and call it „fake“ and „Disneyland-like“. They would rather built buildings that look like grey shoe cartons

Potsdam Agreement led to German refugees leaving in droves in post WW2 areas that were once German territory. The Russians would run over them with tanks. In all, around two million died.
