Slideshow: GlobalFoundries in Dresden
Friday morning dawned bright and fair as a collection of journalists stumbled out of a Dresden city center hotel ready to be bussed to GlobalFoundries' Fab 1 complex on the outskirts of the town. Down one narrow street could be spied the famous Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady).
Frauenkirche from Salzgasse, Dresden
This beautiful church was built in the 18th century but was destroyed in the firebombing of Dresden during World War II. It's reconstruction, finally completed in 2005 was done as a symbol of reconciliation.
After a 20 minute drive we arrived at GlobalFoundries Fab 1 complex
