Does Dresden still count as a UNESCO WH Site? Is at least in process of being stripped of that designation

At first glance - 42.

It is a surprising list in regards to what isn't on it.

About 76 including 16 in the US. (we camped a lot when the kids were young).
Actually I think there were more, but I don't recognize some by their "formal" names.

ps. I thought I'd point out again - both sites I originally linked are wonderful. The second one is unofficial but the owner put a LOT of work into it...
