Today is a great day for the entire world culture. Today, May 27, Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born. On the same day, but many years later, he'd had the enlightenment, and then Gautama Buddha came to the world to become a founder of one of the great religions.

All the photos that show a panoramic view of the building were taken either from the other bank of the Rhine or from the air. The Cathedral suffered no damage during World War II - it was spared perhaps owing to the fact that it made a good reference point for the air force.
