Dresden. Architekturführer

Praised as the "Florence on the Elbe" since the beginning of the 19th century, Dresden continues to enchant visitors with its unique cityscape and landscape on both sides of the Elbe. Despite the considerable loss of building fabric in the bombing and fire inferno of February 1945 and as a result of the large-scale clearance in the early GDR years, the former royal residence and present-day capital of Saxony has a rich architectural heritage to offer. In addition to the main Baroque works, this includes buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as an increasing number of buildings from the so-called post-reunification period. In a total of 200 building portraits, the Dresden architectural guide illuminates the architectural complexity of Dresden, which has grown to 328 square kilometres due to the incorporation of new districts.kilometres - from Cossebaude in the west to Schönfeld-Weißig in the east, from Weixdorf ¿in the north to Prohlis in the south.
