The cathedrals in Chartres or Salisbury are examples of Gothic architecture, but not that monument in Leipzig. Admittedly it is hard for me to keep the monument, completed in 1913, and the certainly well done medal that commemorates it, from 1913, apart ...</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a great view from the Völkerschlacht-Denkmal though. Wasn&#039;t it Guy de Maupassant who went up the Eiffel Tower almost every day because from up there he did not have to see the tower? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
