Europe is gay

but europeans like war

Anyway ugly

Blame the jews, because they are the ones that started WWII

didn't know hitler was a jew

...

...

The Netherlands didn't participate in WW1. And WW2 only destroyed a couple cities.

Only shitty countries got demolished desu.

...

If the United States had followed a strict noninterventionist foreign policy, it is likely that the intra-European conflict would have ended in late 1916 or early 1917 as the result of several peace initiatives, most notably by the Austrian Emperor Charles I. Moreover, the war would have been concluded with a mutually acceptable and face-saving compromise peace rather than the actual dictate. Consequently, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia would have remained traditional monarchies instead of being turned into short-lived democratic republics. With a Russian Czar and a German and Austrian Kaiser in place, it would have been almost impossible for the Bolsheviks to seize power in Russia, and in reaction to a growing communist threat in Western Europe, for the Fascists and National Socialists to do the same in Italy and Germany.

Sweden was mostly untouched.
Stockholm's original parts are still intact in the old city.

Lmbo who wrote this retarded drivel?

Nice try, Schlomo

fuck off nazi

Don't care

London was demolished and rebuilt about 4 times before finally being topped by WW2

...

How it actually looks like now

...

That gold writing is sexy as fuck

still breddy noice

Yes, reconstruction works when you have the money for it. That's Dresden in case you haven't noticed. And most work was done after reunification. Socialists were too poor for this.

could you imagine how better Europe would be without Germany constantly taking a shit on it

Well... welcome to Germany.

...

You shouldn't have resisted our natural position on the continent and all would have been peaceful. Restraining the natural growth of a countries power never worked.

...

The destruction was way too large to rebuild everything. And Nürnberg was heavily hit

what's natural about forcefully invading other countries

I know. Fucking G*rmans

Yeah, Iirc Nürnberg was the third most destroyed city after Dresden and Hamburg.

Not too sure what your point is here. That it was replaced with something worse? Maybe, but you've got to factor in the insane cost of rebuilding something the old way.

It's why modern architecture is all glass and steel. Lots of people would like to do things the old way, but the combination of insane material cost, labour cost, and overall effort makes it unfeasible.

Were Poland's cities really rebuilt as well as the memepics would have me believe? They seem to be reconstructed almost perfectly compared to a lot of German cities. I find it odd that Communists would do a better job at reconstructing old cities than the West. Although I suppose Poland was a lot less urbanised than Germany so reconstruction wouldn't be on as large a scale, and so would be more feasible.

I dislike excessive clutter, especially knowing that it would go unwashed for years on end and start getting dark because of the street smog
Ground and First floor were good, anything past the second is unnecesary imo

We had to invade because you forced a war upon us. You tried to create an offensive alliance against us to keep your naval supremacy. If you hadn't intervened, the French would have backed down and Russia would've been our ally.
You destabilized the continent under the disguise of a balance of power, while you actually but it off balance.

That still looks good

>We had to invade because you forced a war upon us

>It was your fault we acted like morons and invaded a bunch of innocent countries

what the fuck why not just not steal land from other nations lmao

it's not hard

>it's your fault for defending your allies from literal invasion and winning

the old buildings weren't rebuilt because frankly it would've taken too much time
germany, like most countries rebuilding, didn't have the time for fancy luxurious buildings
no idea why people idolise old fashioned buildings so much, a waste of time and resources for the most part and who actually cares what buildings look like so long as they work

The german's comment was kind of stupid, but this coming from the biggest empire at the time?

Dirt and grime can make some buildings look more aesthetic 2bh. I don't think the building in that pic would look that bad with it. Although I do see your point.

Yeah, to rebuild stuff like that costs a retarded amount of money.
They rebuild the atrium of this recently and it already cost millions.... just the atrium.

What land did we steal?
Elsaß-Lothringen was stolen by the French in 1650s and we just took it back.

I really hope you Anglos are smarter with the Chinese and don't resist their growth

There would have been no invasion. Germany had no interest in any expansion towards the west.

>who actually cares what buildings look like so long as they work
It's pretty important, a city full of depressing and uninspiring architecture will make you feel depressed and uninspired.

I like Brutalism though.

It can be interesting in isolation, but would you really want to surround yourself with it? I feel like I'd get depressed pretty quickly living in a city like that.

Why are britshits commies?

Actually, I think the opposite. Brutalism looks good when done in general, but when it's just one building in amongst other things it looks a bit shit.

Rreeeee, Germany what the hell! Stop being such a cucky fuck up and do something right for once and build them as they were, like Poland has, gosh! Fucking krauts.

Fuck off cretin

Well, we rather tier em down even so they were undamaged ;^)

>before (1950s)

That one isn't that bad desu

Finally modernized.

You just triggerd me !

PLEASE MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

What's the most authentic and best preserved city in Germany?

Reminder that modern attempts to build classical buildings are a fucking disaster.

Pic incredibly related.

No.

The German mentality is baffling until you realise in their kraut hagiographies they were somehow forced to build a massive surface fleet, and conned out of ruling Europe which they feel entitled to for no reason

Probably some smaller stuff like Bamberg.

Nördlingen also looks kinda good.

I think that's bs, I personally really like Kartanokoski (Herrgårdsforsen)

Disgusting as well

Rothenburg is worth a visit for sure.

This pic makes me ovulate

And even with these, Nürnberg is still one of the best looking cities in Germany.

u stob nao

Why didn't you rebuild dem nips. Feels like everything is left kinda unfinished.

Are you mentally retarded? All of Europe's wealth has come from wars and colonisation.

Not sure, this should be good when finished.
[spoiler] all but one side that was fucking ruined by fucking modernists[/spoiler]

there's no way to objectively measuring how inspiring architecture is
tbqh i don't even take notice of it

Let me guess, you voted for Corbyn?

That building still stands

Fuck that building on the left is so pretty.
very surprising that Germans were capable of this. must have been built by someone born elsewhere like Amalienborg was built by belgians

Probably 19 and didn't vote at all but pretended to

I heard they're building some sort of seesaw monument infront of it.

A city filled with grey concrete and commieblocks is objectively going to be less healthy for your mind than a colourful city filled with different architectural styles that date back to the Middle Ages.

Forced watching for all you dirty commies in this thread

and everyone else should watch too, great docu, Roger Scruton is bae

said the British empire

Not to mention those older buildings fucking last because back then people had to have craft to build.

We didn't steal anything. We bought it.

>We bought it.
>three Xs on the dotted line

F

Not sure if they are really building it since many people dislike it, but pic related is the idea.
It should somehow represent the unification... don't ask me how.

Poor warsaw

Well yeah...

It's sad what happened to Königsberg

...

...

...

correct

>trusting Russia

Well, you own fault.
