Augusta the strong, this is the wall of the Transportation Museum (Verkehrsmuseum), this wall just finished being refurbished in May:

Old German Statue right near the Frauenkirche:
This statue looks like a mirror image of the statue in this link showing some of the fallout from the horrific Dresden Firebombing (i actually thought it was the same statue but don't think so, unless the image is backwards in the old photo):
