"Die Bruecke" (The Bridge) cultural institute
Childish Says: Supposed to be an European Institute for the Promotion of Russian and International Handcrafts in Gifhorn whose patron is Michael Gorbachov (the former Russian president). Its 50 golden domes must represent 50 years of peace in Germany.Unfortunately I saw it only late in the...
