Activity itinerary

Denkmal Truemmerfrau

  • 10m
A monument in honour of the women who cleared millions of tonnes of rubble by hand and thus laid the foundation for the reconstruction of Dresden.

Holy Cross Church

  • 10m
A historic church whose exterior has been restored, but whose interior has been deliberately left rough and unplastered – as a tangible reminder of the firestorm of 1945.

Old Market Square (Altmarkt)

  • 10m
The lively central square, which was the epicentre of the firestorm and today holds a small memorial for the thousands of victims who were cremated here.

Dresdner Frauenkirche

  • 10m
The iconic Frauenkirche, which was left as a rubble memorial for 50 years before being rebuilt in painstaking detail from a mixture of charred original stones and new stones.

Residenzschloss

  • 10m
The royal castle, a centuries-old seat of power, which was reduced to a shell in 1945 and is now undergoing a massive, decades-long artisanal reconstruction.

Katholische Hofkirche

  • 10m
The Dresden Cathedral, which was heavily damaged, whose legendary Silbermann organ was miraculously saved and thus preserved the city's musical heritage.

Semper Opera House (Semperoper)

  • 10m
The world-famous opera house, which was rebuilt during the GDR era and reopened exactly 40 years after its destruction with a deeply symbolic performance.

The Dresden Zwinger

  • 10m
The ultimate Baroque fantasy palace, whose rapid reconstruction after the war is a testament to Dresden's refusal to let its artistic soul die.
