Dresden msmstudy.eu

Dresden is another city with an impressive background that is definitely worth visiting if you are makind the trips in Europe. Perhaps you will not find Dresden in the places to visit in the world but this makes it a perfect location to go to if you prefer to stay away from crowded mass tourist sites. Dresden is a beautiful charming city with its own unique and somewhat tragic history.

In the Second World War, Dresden was completely wiped out by the aerial bombing, so the historical center had to be carefully rebuilt with the help of old maps and plans. Until the 1990’s Dresden was a part of Eastern Germany and it joined the rest of the country after the fall of the Berlin Wall. During this period of the East German socialist era, the vast urban growth also made a certain negative impact, which considerably changed the face of the city.

Dresden is the capital of the Free State of Saxony. Historical evidence portrays it as the main royal residence for Electors and Kings of Saxony, who decorated this city with cultural and artistic splendour throughout the centuries.

Art admirers will fall in love with the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Old Masters Picture Gallery) and Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault) museum which hold one of the widest expositions in the world echoing with the contrasting combination of styles of the cityscape.

Dresden was home to Wilhelm Wagner, the opera composer who worked here in the 1800’s. Today independent operas continue to share his art by hosting classical and modern shows on their stages.

Situated along the banks of the Elbe River, Dresden is one of the greenest cities in Europe, beautifully framed by forests, gardens and parks. Although Dresden has experienced dramatic changes since the reunification of Germany in the early 1990s, it has transformed into a charming, convenient modern European city and in 2006 it celebrated its 800th anniversary.
