Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Schlossplatz
Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Schlossplatz
The Schloßplatz is a city square in the center of Dresden, Saxony, Germany. It gets its name from the Dresdner Schloss, the royal residence of the Electors and Kings of Saxony, which faces the south side of the square.
The Schloßplatz is further bounded by the Katholische Hofkirche, the Sächsische Ständehaus, the Georgentor, and Augustus Bridge the over the River Elbe. Dating from the 15th century, the square was destroyed in Bombing of Dresden in World War II. In recent years the buildings surrounding the square have largely been restored so that the area again has a historic character.
A bronze statue of Albert of Saxony by sculptor Max Baumbach was inaugurated in 1906 in front of the Georgentor and was melted in 1945 after being severely damaged. Stone friezes on the base were restored in 1990 on the original site. A sculpture by Ernst Rietschel of Frederick Augustus I The Righteous in seated position now stands on the site of the old Albert statue. This monument had been located at the Dresden Zwinger since 1843, and later was moved to the Japanisches Palais.
Through the efforts of the city, the Saxon Academy of Fine Arts, and private sponsors it was moved to this prominent spot in 2008. The consecration on 29 May 2008 included a performance of the Weih-Hymne by Richard Wagner, who had composed the piece on the occasion of the sculpture's original unveiling in 1843.
Outside the main entrance of the Katholische Hofkirche is a paving stone marked with an N. This indicates the spot where Napoleon Bonaparte paraded his troops and set off for the Battle of Dresden on August 26, 1813, in which he was victorious.

Terra X - August der Starke
Der sächsische Kurprinz Friedrich August zeichnete sich schon als Kind durch seine blühende Fantasie aus und stellte sich sein Leben als Heldenepos vor.
Auf unterhaltsame Weise nähert sich die Dokumentation seiner schillernden Persönlichkeit. Dabei bedient sie sich einem besonderen Schriftstück: Graf Heinrich Jacob von Flemming, Chef seines Geheimen Kabinetts, verfasste eine intime Studie über August den Starken.

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.

Places Featured:
Zwinger Palace:
Dresden's Zwinger Palace is famous around the world for its beautiful baroque architecture. It was built in 1709 during the reign of Augustus the Strong. The remarkable sculptures adorning the gallery walls are by various artists and help make this one of the main attractions in Saxony's regional capital.The Zwinger Palace in Dresden was built in 1709. It was originally an open area surrounded by wooden buildings which was used by the Saxon nobility for tournaments and other courtly pursuits.
Old Town:
On the left bank of the Elbe is Dresden's historical centre with buildings from the Renaissance, the Baroque and the 19th century. Despite being devastated in the Second World War, the Altstadt (Old Town) has kept or regained its attractive buildings.
The most well-known symbol of the rebuilding of the city centre is Dresden Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), the magnificent domed Baroque church which again dominates the Dresden skyline.
After the Second World War, Neumarkt square and the symbolic ruins of the Frauenkirche remained almost untouched for half a century before also coming up for construction.
Neustadt District:
The quarter on the right banks of the Elbe is called Neustadt, even though the settlement across the Old City bore the name Altendresden (Olden Dresden) until the 18th century. Freedom of the city was granted already in 1403, but nevertheless it always remained in the shade of the residence on the other side of the Elbe. After a disastrous fire in 1685 the quarter – in the meanwhile incorporated into Dresden – was systematically rebuilt as the New Town near Dresden, the Neustadt quarter.
The baroque reconstruction produced attractive streets and sites which can still be experienced in the area around Königstrasse. Prelude to the Inner Neustadt is the Neustädter Markt with the equestrian statue of the Saxon elector and Polish king Frederick August I, the Golden Horseman. Beyond the statue is the beginning of the Hauptstrasse, the main street of the historical quarter.
Frauenkirche:
Since October, 30th 2005 the steeple of the Frauenkirche overtops the Dresden skyline again. The reconstruction of the Frauenkirche is an impressive symbol of international reconciliation after World War II. The consecration attracted attention throughout the world. Millions of people have already visited the Frauenkirche.
The sacred building was erected between 1726 and 1743, following the designs of George Bähr. Its characteristic dome, called the stone bell owing to its shape, collapsed on February 15th, 1945 under the rain of bombs. An anti-war monument during the GDR period, the rebuilding is finished now.
The Frauenkirche is a symbol of conciliation, largely with donations from German and international foundations. The Neumarkt quarter around the church is also to regain its status as the historical heart of the city.
Altmarkt Square:
The large rectangular market-place has been the heart of the town since Dresden's foundation and was mentioned for the first time in a document in 1370. Markets, festivities, tournaments and games were staged here and important historical events also turned the Altmarkt square into one of the social centres in town. During the bombing raids of February 1945 the historical Altmarkt square was completely destroyed. Reconstruction on a changed ground plan began in 1953.

Augustus II the Strong of the Albertine line of the House of Wettin was Elector of Saxony , Imperial Vicar and became King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania .Augustus' great physical strength earned him the nicknames the Strong, the Saxon Hercules and Iron-Hand. He liked to show that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands and engaging in fox tossing by holding the end of his sling with just one finger while two of the strongest men in his court held the other end.In order to be elected King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Augustus converted to Roman Catholicism.As a Catholic, he received the Order of the Golden Fleece from the Holy Roman Emperor.

The Neumarkt in Dresden is a place in the old town between Altmarkt and Elbe. Like the Theaterplatz, the Schlossplatz and the Altmarkt, it is one of the important squares of Dresden's Old Town.
The Neumarkt was built in the 16th century after the relocation of the old city wall including the Jüdenhofs as the second marketplace and found after the secularization of the Frauenkirchhofs in the 18th century an enlargement. The baroque development of the Neumarkt was largely destroyed by the air raids on Dresden in February 1945. After the debris clearing its limits were lifted and he appeared as a vast urban open space around the ruins of the Frauenkirche , bounded by the Johanneum , the Palace of Culture and the ruins of the Kurländer Palais, During the clearing away, stable and rebuilt building ensembles were demolished, as on Rampische Strasse .
Due to the brisk building activity after the German reunification, triggered by the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche, today's square changes its shape continuously. The new building aims at a reconstruction of many historical buildings and building footprints that characterized the Neumarkt in the past and were destroyed by war and GDR . Originally a largely modern development was planned almost without rebuilding of the city (such as the New Gewandhaus ), citizen protests and the citizens' initiative Society Historical Neumarkt Dresden then enforced significantly more reconstructions of private builders.
