The tours take visitors on a journey through the eventful history of the Kulturpalast and give exciting insights into the extensive renovation that has made the house what it is today: a lively place of encounter, music, knowledge, and architecture. It becomes clear how versatile the Kulturpalast is – as the home of the Dresden Philharmonic, as the location of the Central Library, and as an open space for culture and the public.
We pay special attention to the architecture of the house. The Palace of Culture symbolises that Dresden has more to offer than just baroque splendour. As an outstanding example of the mid-century architecture of the former GDR, it tells of another chapter in the city's history – of clear lines, new ideas, and the courage to be modern. The tours bring this architectural quality to life and show how tradition and contemporary use have been carefully combined.
Whether you're a Dresdener looking to rediscover your “Kulti” or a visitor to the city wanting to discover a previously unknown side of Dresden in the old town, the tours open up new perspectives on a place that represents the city's cultural transformation like no other.
With its regular tours, Kulturpalast Erleben creates a new approach to a building that has shaped Dresden and continues to do so – open, lively, and full of stories to discover.
