Der Zwinger in Dresden ist einer der bedeutendsten Barockbauwerke. Er wurde von dem Architekten Pöppelmann und dem Bildhauer Permoser geschaffen. Begonne wurden die Arbeiten an dem Komplex 1714 im Auftrage August des Starken. Abgeschlossen wurde der Bau 1728 mit der Fertigstellung des Glockenspielpavillons. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archäologische Artefakte die in einigen Teilen der Stadt gefunden wurden, weisen darauf hin, dass das Gebiet schon in der Steinzeit bewohnt wurde. Urkundlich nachweisen lässt sich der Ort Dresden ( altsorbische Drežďany für Sumpfbewohner oder Auwaldbewohner ) seit 1206 in der Acta sunt her Dresdene. Es gibt keine Unterlagen über die Verleihung der Stadtrechte an Dresden. Möglicherweise wurden sie durch Wilhelm I im Dezember 1403 verliehen. 1485 wurde die Stadt herzogliche Residenzstadt der sächsischen Herrscher. Nach dem Stadtbrand 1685 wurde Dresden über die nächsten Jahrzehnte wieder aufgebaut und 1732 als 'neue Königliche Stadt' vollendet. Kulturelle Bedeutung erlangte Dresden unter Friedrich August I, der auch unter dem Namen August der Starke bekannt ist. 1918 wurde Dresden Hauptstadt des Freistaates Sachsens. Seit 1990 wird die im Krieg stark beschädigte und während des DDR Regimes starkt vernachlässigte Innenstadt mit ihren historischen Gebäuden wieder aufgebaut. Unteranderem die Frauenkirche, die im Oktober 2005 wieder eröffnet und geweiht wurde. Archaeological artifacts have been found in some parts of the town, indicate that the area was inhabited since the Stone Age. Documented evidence can be the place in Dresden 1206 in 'Acta sunt Dresdene'. There is no documentation regarding the award of city status in Dresden. Maybe they were given by William I in December 1403rd From 1485 Dresden was the ducal town residence of the Saxon sovereign. After the great fire in 1685 Dresden was rebuilt over the next few decades and 1732 as a 'new royal city' completed. Cultural significance Dresden gained under Friedrich August I, who is also known under the name of Augustus the Strong. 1918 Dresden became the capital of the Free State of Saxony. Since 1990, the badly damaged City in world war II and strong neglected innner city during GDR regime with his historic building, is rebuild again. Among other things, the Frauenkirche, which was reopened in October 2005 and consecrated. Johannes Heribert Pohl

"English" pavillion in the english gardens (1778-80, by Johann Daniel Schade). The gardens of the water-palais of Schloss Pillnitz are a prime example of the anglo-chinois style of the 18th century. Laid out along the Elbe, accessible by barge from Dresden, the initial baroque parterres, featuring three large palais wings with distinct pagoda roofs and chinese decorations, were later enlarged with an "english" garden (1778-80) and a chinese water garden (1790).

A postcard view of Dresden's main station around 1930. The station was opened in 1897. It was rebuilt after World War II. Reconstructed in 1997-2006 restored the original appearance. The station has 18 tracks. Seven of them are terminal tracks, in the domed brick section. The others are through tracks, in the halls on either side. The long-distance bus terminal is by the station. The photo shows buses operated by the post office. There is a maintenance streetcar (tram) set in the foreground. My day in Dresden began and ended at the station. It was about a two hour trip from Weimar, changing in Leipzig on the way back The postcard is a reproduction, sent to me by a German friend in 2004.
This architecture stock photo features palace, baroque, and architecture.
When World War II came to an end, many German cities lay in ruins. With the male population decimated, it fell to Germany's women to clean up the rubble. These "Trümmerfrauen," or "rubble women," became the country's first heroes of the post-war era.
