View of the entrance doors of the Dresden Neues Rathaus (New Townhall). Built in 1904-1910 to a design of K.Roth, with tower 98m high culminating in the golden man statue of Hercules by Richard Guhr, with the adjacent yellow coloured Gewandhaus or robing house, of 1768-70. The latter building was designed by JG Schmidt, but reformed in the 1920s into the Stadtbank. In the bombing in February 1945, the building was heavily damaged and needed extensive reconstruction in a simplified form. After wartime destruction, it was recreated and in the mid 1960s turned into an hotel. The picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Otto Kaiser in 1942-1944.
