Dresden

Unique art treasures, internationally renowned resonating bodies, buildings of outstanding beauty – those are just a few highlights the Saxon capital has to offer. Tradition and modern spirit are equal components of the cultural flair. There are also the charming landscapes alongside the river Elbe with vast meadows, extensive exclusive residential areas and magnificent castles, which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. The great enthusiasm for the resurrected Frauenkirche Church is still unbowed. Since the completion of its reconstruction it is open to the public for sightseeing, church services and first-grade concerts. Another highlight was the reopening of the “Histo-risches Grünes Gewölbe” (Historic Green Vault) in September 2006. This marks the return of the famous collection of the princes of Wettin, one of Europe’s richest treasuries, to the Royal Palace of Dresden, its historical place of origin. About 3,000 works of art are exhibited as in the age of Augustus the Strong – not in display cabinets but freestanding against a background of richly embellished and mirrored display walls and on ornamental tables. Currently hardly any other German city changes as continually as Dresden. Architectural masterpieces – both new and reconstructed – arose during the building boom of the recent years and are by now attracting worldwide attention.
