Built for the employees of the world-famous (Military History Museum of the Federal Arms Forces) Deutsche Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst (German Workshops for Craftsmanship), Hellerau soon Alexander Georgi acquired additional fame for its Festspielhaus completed in 1912.

Picturesque villas characterise its streets. In a natural setting, there is a concert venue with beer garden, open-air cinema, frequent musical performances and an ice rink in winter. Not far away is the Chinese Pavilion, a listed building which craftsmen from Shanghai built for the International Hygiene Exhibition of 1911. 4 Popular with day trippers is the valley of the Priessnitz creek, from the point at which it flows into the Elbe in Dresden Neustadt via the Dresdner Heide out to Ullersdorf.

The Pillnitz Castle Schloss e. V. complex consists of three main buildings, the Riverside Palace (Wasserpalais) on the riverfront; the info@schloss- Upper Palace (Bergpalais) on the hillside, both Baroque with Chinoiserie elements; and the later seifersdorf.de Neoclassical New Palace (Neues Palais) with various pavilions. Visitors today can study the contents of the museums and admire the breathtaking botanical collection in the French and English-style gardens. The 230-year-old camellia in the castle park is a major attraction every spring. 4 Visible from some distance away and soaring above the meadows that flank the Elbe are the trio of palaces known as the Elbschlösser – Schloss Albrechtsberg, Lingnerschloss and Schloss Eckberg. They were built in the mid-19th century and set amidst sprawling gardens. The palaces on the Elbhang (Elbe slopes) are easily accessible by tram or by bike via the Elbe Cycle Path. From the cultivated terraces, it is apparent just how much of the city is given over to green space. 4 Not far from the Old Town with its many famous baroque buildings is the Grosser Garten (Great Garden) which covers an area of almost two square kilometres. Frequent concerts and cultural events take place in the central Palais and on open-air stages. Visitors young and old will delight in a trip around the park on the miniature railway. Patrons of the Restaurant Carolaschlösschen can relax and enjoy the view across the picturesque central lake. 4 Located approximately 20 minutes by car from Dresden city centre is Schloss Moritzburg, poetically located on an island in one of several artificial lakes. It is home to one of the largest collections of hunting trophies in Europe. Visitor attractions include the Fasanenschlösschen (Pheasant Lodge), the historic lighthouse and the wildlife enclosure. 4 Less well known among the castles in the surroundings of Dresden but just as delightful in its own way is Schloss Seifersdorf. The castle park is a section of the Seifersdorf valley (partially situated within the city limits) containing a number of statues which are a legacy of the romantic era. It is adjacent to a 60-hectare nature reserve.

Kanu-Aktiv-Tours special- ises in outdoor adventure activities such as white water rafting on the Elbe and rock climbing. A com- bined tour might include the experience of traversing the Häntzschelstiege, an exceptionally well-pre- pared via ferrata with iron rungs, carved steps and ladders taking you up rocky pillars and across deep crevices in Saxon Switzerland followed by a rafting session on the Elbe. 4 Slightly lower on adrenaline rush but also offering great scenery is a hike along the Sächsischer Weinwanderweg (Saxon Wine Trail) from Dresden Körnerplatz to Rysselkuppe.

  • The Japanese Palace in Dresden: a Highlight of European 18Th-Century
    都市と伝統的文化 The ‘Japanese Palace’ in Dresden: A Highlight of European 18th-century Craze for East-Asia. Cordula BISCHOFF Dresden, seat of government and capital of present-day federal state Saxony, now benefits more than any other German city from its past as a royal residence. Despite war-related destructions is the cityscape today shaped by art and architecture with a history of 500 years. There is possibly no other place in Germany where to find so many exceptional artworks concentrated in such a small area. This accumulation is a result of the continuosly increasing significance of the Dresden court and a gain in power of the Saxon Wettin dynasty. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a conglomeration of more than 350 large and tiny territories. The 50 to 100 leading imperial princes struggled in a constant competition to maintain their positions. １） In 1547 the Saxon Duke Moritz（1521-1553）was declared elector. Thus Saxony gained enormous political significance, as the seven, in 18th century nine electors, were the highest-ranking princes. They elected the Roman-German emperor and served as his innermost councils. The electors of Saxony and of the Palatinate were authorised to represent the emperor in times of vacancy. At the same time in 16th century Saxony rose due to its silver mining industry to one of the richest German territorial states. ２） In the second half of the 17th century the Saxon court even counted among the most important European courts. A peak of political power was reached under Frederick August（us）I.

  • IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen Mit Seiner 1000-Jähirgen
    SACHSEN – IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen mit seiner 1000-jähirgen Kulturgeschichte hat wie kaum ein anderes Bundesland das gesamte Architekturspektrum zu bieten – von Gotik bis modern-minimalistisch. Neben der Kunst und der Musik prägt dieser architektonische Facettenreichtum Sachsen als Kulturreiseziel Nummer 1 in Deutschland. In Sachsen wurden viele für das Bauhaus prägende Denkansätze vorweggenommen, und hier wirkten bekannte Architekten des neuen Bauens. So wurde in Dresden bereits ab 1909 mit den Deutschen Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst, als Mitgründer des Werkbundes, an einer Produktionsstätte neuen Typus gebaut – und gleichzeitig an der ersten Gartenstadt Deutschlands, Hellerau. Die Bauhaus-Epoche hat in Sachsen interessante und touristisch relevante Zeugnisse hervorgebracht. Das Josef Albers’ Glasfenster im Leipziger Grassimuseum, das Wandgemälde von Oskar Schlemmer im Zwenkauer Haus Rabe, die Versöhnungskirche in Leipzig, das Kaufhaus Schocken in Chemnitz von Erich Mendelsohn – heute Staatliches Museum für Archäologie - stehen dafür. Das Haus Schminke von Hans Scharoun in Löbau ist eines der weltweit vier herausragenden Beispiele der Stilrichtungen "Neues Bauen" und "International Style". Es fehlt in keinem Architektur-Lexikon und wird in einem Zug genannt mit dem Haus Tugendhat von Mies van der Rohe in Brünn/Brno (1931), der Villa Savoye von Le Corbusier in Poissy bei Paris (1928-29) und dem Haus Kaufmann " Fallingwater " in Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1935-39) von Frank Lloyd Wright genannt. Es steht im Übrigen nicht nur für Besichtigungen offen, sondern man darin auch übernachten. Zusammen mit dem Nieskyer Wachsmann-Haus ist es eine wichtige Station im Verbund TOPOMOMO (Topography of the modern Movement) – einem internationalen Verbund von herausragenden (Wohn)Gebäuden der Moderne. Zum „Jubiläum 100 Jahre Bauhaus“ wird das Bundesland mit vielfältigen Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen vor allem das baukulturelle Erbe würdigen und an bestehende Präsentationen und kulturelle Schwerpunktthemen, etwa das Thema Industriekultur, anknüpfen.
