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. Or
visit the turns of Sightseeings
and attractions in Germany, that are Dresden beauties: the
Saxon State Opera, or Theatre, or Hercule's club, the Hygiene, the
Transport or the Military Museums or the Treasury, the Zwinger Palace,
the Hofkirche, the Grosser Garten, numerous fountains and monuments
(e.g. to Martin Luter) and Frauenkirche.
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.
The city citizens are very proud and madly in love with their
dear green Dresden, because some 63% of the city is a park and forest
territory. Travel Germany and enjoy all the wonderful delights and
pleasures that Dresden has in store! It's tempting, because its store
is bottomless and every day you will be gripped by its amazing
multiplicity and beauty.
