A sculpture of young Albrecht Duerer stands at the exhibition entrance in the Germanisches Museum in Nuremberg, Germany, Tuesday, May 22. The sculpture is based on the self-portrait the young Duerer drew of himself. The sculptor portrayed the 'child prodigy' around 1880, when Duerer became the primary hero of German art. The statue was believed to have been destroyed in WWII. It was re-discovered in the gardens of the American Academy in Berlin. Germany's biggest exhibit of works by the German artist Albrecht Duerer will open to the public from May 24 until September 2.

Workers check tulip heads in a tulip field on April 27, near Schwaneberg, Germany. Spring weather is finally taking hold in Germany with temperatures expected to reach 28 degrees Celsius by the weekend. Since the tulips will be sold for their bulbs rather than their flowers, the workers need to check that the machine that bends the tulip heads over (a process that makes for better bulbs) was successful.

Cleaners work on window elements of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church on April 19, in Berlin.
To restore the original luminance of the windows of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, more than 16,000 glass mosaics are being washed with hot water high-pressure cleaners. The old church, built between 1891 and 1895, was damaged and destroyed during air-raids in 1943. A new church, whose windows are being cleaned now, was constructed between 1959 and 1963 after plans of Egon Eiermann. Parts of the old church were conserved and serve as a war memorial.
