Dresden Treasury

Dresden is a wonderful city of remarkable diversities. It's a city of mysteries, enigmas, ancient history in Germany, a great location and nice people. To tell the truth it's almost impossible to believe that the city of super modern streets and high-speed VWs produced here is some 8 centuries old. Last year its 800 anniversary was magnificently celebrated. The city was first mentioned as a historical Drezdany, a place located at the bank of the Elbe river, surrounded by Ore and Sandstone Mountains and settled by the Slavonic tribes.  Though the first Germans came to the settlement in the 10th century and founded Meissen castle with the ruling family of the Wettins. But the first written track of the Dresden history was made in 1206, and Drezdany was depicted as a city that later became Protestant Saxony capital.  The golden years of the city can be named the Baroque and the Rococo epoch.

Dresden hero is supposed to be August the Strong, who was unbelievably powerful and brave, and all the local stories mention him from time to time. He transformed the city into Roman Catholic and was the King of Poland, his epoch was the flourishing city period. 

Speaking of Dresden history it should be mentioned that the city was heavily bombed and almost destructed during the two nights of the World War Second, and Dresden is sure to never forget those fatal nights. Fortunately the city government took care and enough effort to renovate and breathe new life into the ancient black and yellow ( its colours) city.

You can head to the old city, the long standing and still beating heart of Dresden, or to the New part where you will be surrounded by skyscrapers and up-to-date constructions and business centrers, banks and offices, here you can feel the air of world affairs and business currents. You can visit the Heathland, some  50 km? forest in the city, or four reservations, where you can touch primeval nature.

But as well as a culture cot, Dresden can be undoubtedly named an industrial centre of the region because of  such world-famous enterprises as VW, GlaxoSmithKline, Siemens and Elbe Aircraft Works.
