Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Augustusbrucke
The Augustus Bridge is a bridge in the city of Dresden, in the state Saxony in Germany. It was built between 1907 and 1910. Crossing the river Elbe, the road bridge connects the Innere Neustadt in the north (right bank) with the historic area of the city in the south (left bank).
There has been a bridge at the same location since at least the 12th century. Under king Augustus II the Strong of Poland and Saxony, a new sandstone bridge was built between 1727 and 1731.
This bridge was replaced by the present, also sandstone, bridge with 9 arches in order to provide a wider opening for river traffic. It was designed by Wilhelm Kreis and Theodor Klette. Three tram lines of the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe pass over the Augustus Bridge.

Augustusbrücke Dresden im Oktober 2017
Die Sanierung der Augustusbrücke in Dresden.
Am 18.April 2017 rollte das letzte Auto über die bis dahin öffentlich befahrbare Dresdner Augustusbrücke.
Etwa 15 Monate soll die nun laufende Sanierung andauern.
Die Stadt Dresden will aus der 1910 fertiggestellten Brücke eine Flaniermeile machen.
Nur noch Fußgänger, Fahrradfahrer, Bahnen und Rettungsdienste dürfen künftig auf das sanierte Bauwerk.
Für rund 23 Millionen Euro wird die Augustusbrücke bis zum Frühling 2019 grundlegend saniert. Dabei muss unter anderem der Brückenbogen über dem Terrassenufer komplett abgebrochen und neu errichtet werden.

Augustusbrücke putzt sich heraus
Seit einem Jahr wird die Augustusbrücke saniert. Wegen des größeren Aufwands haben sich die Arbeiten um drei Monate verzögert. Der marode erste Bogen über dem Terrassenufer musste abgerissen werden. Mittlerweile hat der neue Bogen schon sichtbare Konturen angenommen. Zu sehen sind kassettenförmigen Teile, die wie beim alten Bogen den Beton prägen. Im Sommer soll der neue Bogen fertig sein. Auf der Brücke sind Aussichtspunkte und eine erste Schicht auf Bögen betoniert. Die Betonschicht auf den Bögen wird bereits abgedichtet. Auf das Epoxidharz werden schon Dichtungsbahnen aufgebracht. Die Stadt hofft, dass diese Brückenseite bis zum Frühjahr 2019 saniert ist. Dann kommt die andere Brückenseite an die Reihe. Anfang 2020 soll die gesamte Augustusbrücke saniert sein. Hinter dem ersten Bogen ist ein Pfeiler der mittelalterlichen Brücke zu sehen. Im 13. Jahrhundert war sie die längste Brücke des deutschen Reichsgebietes.
Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Bruehl Terrace
Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Bruehl Terrace
Brühl's Terrace is a historic architectural ensemble in Dresden, Germany. Nicknamed The Balcony of Europe, the terrace stretches high above the shore of the river Elbe in a city which is quite large as measured by area relative to its half a million inhabitants. Located north of the recently rebuilt Neumarkt Square and the Frauenkirche, is one of the favourite inner-city places of both locals and tourists for walking, people watching, and having a coffee.
The present-day terrace was part of the city's fortifications, rebuilt upon the 1546/47 Schmalkaldic War at the behest of Elector Maurice of Saxony and his successors Augustus and Christian. The name Brühl's Terrace is a reference to Count Heinrich von Brühl, Minister of Elector Frederick Augustus II, who from 1737 had a city palace with a gallery, a library and adjacent gardens built on the location. In 1747 the whole terrace was given to him by the Saxon elector as a gift for the innovative introduction of a betterment tax.
After the Saxon defeat at the Battle of Leipzig and the occupation by Russian troops, military governor Prince Nikolai Grigorjevich Repnin-Wolkonski ordered the opening to the public in 1814. He charged the architect Gottlob Friedrich Thormeyer with the building of a flight of stairs at the western end to reach the terrace from Castle Square and Augustus Bridge. The Brühl Palace was demolished in the course of the building of the Saxon Ständehaus in 1900.
The ensemble was totally destroyed in February 1945 when the city centre was heavily hit by the Allied Bombing of Dresden during the end phase of World War II. Today, it has been rebuilt; the precise amount restored is difficult to say as a percentage, but in general one can say the emsemble looks very much the same today as it did in the past.
Today, Bruehl's Terrace is again one of the main city landmarks besides the Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady), Dresden Castle, the Hofkirche and buildings on Theatre Square such as the Zwinger and the Semperoper, which are all located in the vicinity. At the Bärenzwinger students' club near the monument for Johann Friedrich Böttger, one can see a fingerprint in a guard rail of the terrace garden. This dactylogram is said to be proof of the strength of August the Strong, who is said to have left the mark - but is only one of many myths surrounding August, such as the legend that he fathered 365 children.
Most people enter the terrace from the Schlossplatz (Castle Square) on the west end of the terrace. Besides Saxony's Supreme Court a staircase with four sculptures (The Four Times of Day) leads from the Schlossplatz (Castle Square) up to Brühl's Terrace. One of the next buildings to the right is the Academy of Fine Arts. There is an ensemble of important buildings, such as the Albertinum.

Dresden Trams, Dresden, Germany - 11th December, 2012
Dresden has a large tramway network that is operated by the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG/DVB. The origins of the Dresden tramway can be traced back to the year 1872, when the first horse-drawn line opened between the city centre and the former village of Blasewitz, now a borough of Dresden.
The tramway system is the backbone of public transport in Dresden. DVB operate twelve routes on a 200 km network. On the major lines through the inner city, where different routes intertwine, vehicles run up to every two minutes. Different routes can be identified by a route number scheme, which also extends to local and regional bus services, as well as a colour code which has by now only been applied to the official network diagram of DVB. On all tramway routes, a general 10-minute headway is offered on weekdays, extending to 15 minutes on Saturday, Sunday and in the evening. The system boosts a daily 24h service.
The fleet is being renewed to replace the ageing Czech Tatra trams. Today many of the low floor vehicles are up to 45 metres long and produced by Bombardier Transportation in Bautzen. The newest trams are vehicles of the Flexity Classic XXL series that are adjusted to the topography of Dresden.
The Dresden tramway is a mixed system of traditional street running, especially in the inner city boroughs close to the city centre, and modern light rail. While many tracks in the system are on separated roadbeds (often with grass grown around them to avoid noise) some tracks are still placed on the streets in the midst of individual traffic. Contrary to many other German cities of comparable size, no tunnel sections exist.
This video features views of trams around the city of Dresden, including in the following locations: Freiberger Strasse, Altmarkt, Postplatz, Carolabrücke, Augustus Brucke and Theaterplatz.
Dresden: A short walk along the River Elbe from Marienbrücke to Theaterplatz - 8th August, 2013
Dresden is one of my favourite places on the planet. Unfortunately on this visit I only had a matter of hours there, so I indulged in a few Dresden pleasures. This particular pleasure is a short walk along the River Elbe from Marienbrücke to Theaterplatz.
Along the way my camera looks back towards Marienbrücke and the old Turkish cigarette factory, which is now a restaurant called Kuppelrestaurant in der Yenidze, and is one of Dresden's most striking buildings, as it's Asiatic dome and minarets make it look quite out of place in traditional Eastern Germany.
From here I walked along the Elbe looking at the floodwater sign. There are few signs now that this area was in flood other than crushed vegetation, although even this is now recovering. Only 2 months ago the River Elbe reached a height that was 7 metres (22 feet) above it's normal level. Much of Dresden was saved, but other areas were not so lucky.
I walk past the International Congress Centre and along the river, with views across to luxury abodes and hotels on the other side. Soon I approach Augustusbrücke, and from here the sight of a dredging crane is visible working non-stop in a back and forth motion eating silt from the river bottom and depositing it onto barges. The silt was no doubt brought down by flood waters.
A vista towards the open air summer cinema, an artist painting the Dresden skyline and the the wonderful baroque city centre of Dresden with her majestic and magnificent buildings plays out. Particular attention is given to Katholische Hofkirche - the main Catholic Church, as well as the Triangulationssäule Schlossturm - Dresden Castle, or Palace as it is often referred to. Final shots are of the Semper Opera House, and some passing street trams, before I had to make my way to the railway station for the next part of my travels. Goodbye for now Dresden, I will return.

Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Theaterplatz
The Theaterplatz in Dresden is a historic place of the city. It is located in the west of the Inner Old Town. Theater Square is the square in front of the Dresden Semperoper , the former court theater; This is also where his name derives. It is located on Sophienstraße between Postplatz and Augustusbrücke . It borders directly on the impact slope of the Elbbogen in front of the old town of Dresden and is thus elevated above the Elbe. From the driveway to the Augustus Bridge, the theater square offers a wide view over the Elbe to the Dresdner Heide .
In contrast to the Altmarkt or Neumarkt Theaterplatz is not located within the historic city center, but west on the edge. There is therefore little commoner development on Theaterplatz. Starting in the north, the Italian village separates the Theater Square from the Elbe. The building is one of the youngest in the square and was built by Hans Erlwein . The more well-known Erlwein store , a technical building, can also be seen from Theaterplatz.
Southeast separates Sophienstraße with the driveway to the Augustus Bridge, the Italian village of the Catholic Court Church . It is the only completely baroque building in the square. A small alley separates the church from the Residenzschloss , which was raised in 1980 to the cathedral of the diocese of Dresden-Meissen . This was often expanded and redesigned and shows the Theaterplatz no clearly classifiable facade.
Also through the Sophienstraße castle and Old Town Main Guard and kennel are separated. The Old Town Guard is designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and so the Schinkel School (also Berlin Classicism ) assign. The west-southwest adjoining Sempergalerie des Zwingers has a Neo-Renaissance façade .
In the northwest, the most famous work of Gottfried Semper follows: The Semper Opera House - of which the third building is now in the square - was planned in two designs by Semper and built here for the first time from 1838 to 1841 . Originally built in neo-renaissance style, the second building, which was rebuilt according to old plans until 1985, is built in a mixed Neoclassic-Neo-Renaissance style.

Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Neumarkt
Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Neumarkt
The Neumarkt in Dresden is a central and culturally significant section of the Dresden inner city. The historic area was almost completely wiped out during the Allied bomb attack during the Second World War. After the war Dresden fell under Soviet occupation and later the communist German Democratic Republic who rebuilt the Neumarkt area in socialist realist style and partially with historic buildings. However huge areas and parcels of the place remained untilled. After the fall of Communism and German reunification the decision was made to restore the Neumarkt to its pre-war look.
Due to its location on a slight rise above the flood-prone Elbe River, the Neumarkt was one of the first areas of Dresden's old city to be settled, with a small village arising around the old Frauenkirche. However, it was not actually located within the city walls until the city was expanded in 1530, from which point on, the old town contained two market squares. The square located around the Kreuzkirche was renamed Altmarkt (German for Old Market), and the square surrounding the Frauenkirche was named the Neumarkt (New Market).
During the reign of August II the Strong, a great number of structures in Dresden were built in Baroque style, including the present-day Frauenkirche, and numerous other houses surrounding the Neumarkt. After damage sustained to buildings through artillery fire in the Seven Years' War, a number of structures on the Neumarkt were rebuilt in the Rococo and late Baroque styles.
During the 19th century and into the early 20th century, the Neumarkt remained largely unchanged, except for renovations to the Johanneum completed in 1873 and the construction of the Albertinum and Academy of Arts completed at the end of the 1800s.
During the bomb attack on Dresden in February 1945, the area around the Neumarkt was almost entirely destroyed in the resulting firestorm. The main structure of the Frauenkirche survived the initial bombing and firestorm, before collapsing a few days later. During the 1950s and 60s under rule of the German Democratic Republic, the Neumarkt and Altmarkt formed a mostly vacant area through the middle of the old city, save for the ruins of the Frauenkirche standing as a memorial to the horrors of war. The two squares were separated by the widened Wilsdruffer Strasse, then from 1969 by the Palace of Culture, and then later by new apartment blocks.
The completion of the reconstructed Dresden Frauenkirche in 2005 marked the first step in rebuilding the Neumarkt. Organisations such as the Gesellschaft Historischer Neumarkt Dresden actively encourage an historically-faithful reconstruction of the structures around the Neumarkt, giving an outward appearance as close as possible to that from before 1945. The areas around the square have been divided into 8 Quarters, with each being rebuilt as a separate project, the majority of buildings to be rebuilt either to the original structure or at least with a facade similar to the original.
