Dresden yesterday and today

Dresden is a city with a rich and turbulent history. The Saxon elector August the Strong , who was elected king of Poland (August II), had a great influence on the development of the city. His impetuous and strong character left its mark on the architecture of Dresden. It was his beloved city - he was born there and in St. The Trinity rested his heart.

August Mocny changed Dresden's architecture from Renaissance to Baroque, he brought in famous painters, sculptors and architects (eg Daniel Pöppelman , Balthasar Permoser). The ruler was an admirer of splendor, which is noticeable in the monuments remaining after that period.

The real jewel of Dresden is the Zwinger building complex , tourists are also impressed by the Porcelain Museum and the Mathematics and Physics Salon. In the capital of Saxony, it is worth seeing the extraordinary Crown Gate with four eagles and a Polish crown and a chiming clock made of Meissen porcelain

Dresden suffered the most damage at the end of World War II, when it was completely ruined by the Allied bombing. The city was slowly recovering from the destruction, but most of the most important monuments were reconstructed. The symbol of the reconstruction is the Frauenkirche church on Neumarkt , which collapsed after the bombing and was rebuilt on the initiative of the inhabitants in 1989.

A big attraction in Dresden is the Kunsthofpassage (center of culture and art), famous for the fact that on its façade there are a number of gutters and eaves with which the flowing water plays melodies .

In the capital of Saxony, we can see the most beautiful dairy in the world, which has been entered in the Guinness Book - it looks more like a palace than a company.
