I have ben working in Dresden as a travel guide for almost 10 years. Every time I’m there I discover new things to see. There is soo much history in the beautiful city 😊
I have been to Dresden many times to visit my daughter and her family, and every time I was there I was stunned by its versatility. It was an invaluable gift to watch Placido Domingo at Nabucco at Semperoper in 2019. It is magical.
dresden was the first german city i visited, and i loved it! it was so calm, beautiful, and easy to navigate. the locals were helpful and thorough in providing information, though the staff at the zwinger were a bit overzealous with security. overall i had a fantastic time and would return in a heartbeat. very underrated city.
I'm so happy seeing Dresden back to its vibrant days, Truly a magnificient city. I've just watched the BOMBING OF DRESDEN during WW2 and how it was destroyed and the horrific firestorm that killed thousands of people. I hope I can visit someday!
Was in Dresden to watch the miracle of a classical German city rebuilt after destruction in WWII.A tribute to the valiant spirit of the German race, once mocked by Romans as barbarians and now refined beyond recognition, an interlude of barbarism during Hitler, the monster's anti-German rule.God bless Germany!
The real miracle of Dresden is that they were able to find the skilled craftsmen who built these modern reconstructions of the destroyed buildings. So I guess there's no need to build more hideous postmodernist structures anywhere.
Dresden is such one of the most beautiful cities in the world, there is no more beautiful city in europe and everyone should have visit this amazing old town, which was beautifully rebuilt after the second world war!!!!
I would think there would be a memorial in the city to the tens of thousands of deaths that resulted from the bombing in February 1945. I visited the city in 1991. The bombing was still very evident at that time. Those unnecessary deaths, very close to the end of the war, should not be forgotten.
Not one stone should be left of Dresden... for the crimes of the German nation from 39 to 45. It is only by God's grace that this city exists today. What a man sows, he will reap.

Are you talking about lost architecture in Germany or Britain? Terrible damage was done to English cities early on in the war. Damage was done to Germany in retaliation. Quite right too.
After visiting just after the fall of the wall and seeing the rather decrepit state of the city (still a very enjoyable week spent there though) I am rather saddened that the Frauenkirche was not left in its destroyed state as an incontrovertible statement as to the folly of war. Cathedrals are a dime-a-dozen in Europe. I'm reminded of the (Catholic) King in Spain who rebuked his church architects after they'd built the new Cordoba Cathedral inside the incomparable Moorish Mezquita - in paraphrase - "You have destroyed something unique to build something commonplace!" The Zwinger, the Art Collections, the Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault) and the hiking in the Sächsische Schweiz (Saxon Switzerland) all make Dresden a must-see on any visit to Germany. 🙂
Because we need yet another statement against war... Rebuilding it, was an act of getting over the war and remembering the beautiful architecture we had. The self hate of Germans is unjustified and obnoxious.
Only about 20% was rebuilt of our beautiful town which had NO MILITARY VALUE and most were women including my family. Thousands of refugees from the east not included
Germany shouldn't have started a war if they didn't want their cities to be bombed. In the words of Arthur Harris: "They sow the winds and now they will reap the wirldwind".
ridiculous how the keep hyping up the dirty part of the Neustadt for tourists, what they show is a tiny quarter with bars, stooners and hippsters ... you find that in every larger city and most will be far more attractive then Dresdens version. So much better spots to visit in Dresden, even within Dresden-Neustadt itself.
Dresden was the first city in the world to loose its World Culture Heritage status due to local politicians eager to set themselves a landmark: They build a huge bridge that divides the former lush meadows along the river Elbe and hinder historical views along the valley. The bridge itself is nothing special either and a rather functional bridge. Further reasons for the construction were to facilitate motorised traffic. (Improvement for public transport were not in the discussion.) The bridge is used pedestrians and bicycles as well. The Waldschlösschen-bridge is considered an illegal building because necessary documentation and evaluation of damages to nature caused by the bridge were never been properly carried out by the Saxon conservative government.
Another must; with respect to Dresden. Never be weak nor afraid of not standing with those who bombed Dresden. In other words .. don't be like DW and those who speak for them.
@@FirstLast-zk5owYour comment still doesn't make sense. Maybe you should review a few history books and find out what caused the bombing of Dresden and many other cities of Germany.
@@wanderschlosser1857 I am sorry , whether or not that makes sense to you. Is not my concern. Curious though. Are you of the mind that if someone doesn't use your preferred pronouns, that they should be stoned? Or they upset you for whatever reason, you make a life mission to attack and destroy their friends and family? Or are you of a competent enough mind to let go and move on?
@@FirstLast-zk5ow Sorry mate, I still don't get the full sense of your words, and obviously neither does DW. Are you defending the ones who bombed Dresden or the ones who were bombed? It is simply not clear for me. Anyway what I wanted to say is, that the bombing of Dresden, as horrible as it was and as possibly useless for the war outcome it might have been, was at the end a result of the war that Germany itself started in the first place.
I would advise people of color against visiting Dresden alone. Dresden and the state is one of the most racist states in Germany and this is definitely a thing to consider. People are openly racist in Dresden. I know the city is beyon beautiful, but I would advise against going there, and if you end up going, do not stay for long try to leave as soon as possible.
As a person living in Dresden, this is literally the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. It is a safe city for everyone. You do not have to fear any violence because of your skin colour and Dresden is definitely not a racist city despite what the media portrays. I've been here my whole life and never experienced more racism than in any other city.
@@gwenhwyfar5040 interracial gay couple here considering visiting Dresden on our first trip to Germany - obviously safety can't be guaranteed anywhere, but is it a welcoming city to tourists? gay, black, american, etc?
@@scootztube Dresden is very welcoming towards tourists! It's literally what the city thrives on :) I can recommend the Dresdner Neustadt for a more welcoming environment. It's probably the most diverse part of the city with many open minded people!
The architecture of Dresden is so beautiful. There is alot to see ,and I really liked the Opera House.
I have ben working in Dresden as a travel guide for almost 10 years. Every time I’m there I discover new things to see. There is soo much history in the beautiful city 😊
i hope they keep restoring the city back to its pre-war look. Dresden and Saxony as a whole are beautiful and so rich in history!
Actually now they will start to rebuild another large part on the other side of the river, which is also part of the old town.

So you don't care that 60,000 British civilians were killed by the Germans during WW2, then?

Thanks for the video 👍
This city is the bomb
The rock in the saxon switzerland is definetly not limestone! It's sandstone.

Interesting how people are attracted to walkable areas and traditional architecture but cities don't build those anymore.
No one will pay for it.
The Dresden Park Railway is also a very cool place in Dresden
Here are some alternatives. Vistit the local football ground, visit the Techno and Punk music scene and don't miss the Biergarten at Elbe river!
Thank you for your tips!
Bellissima beatiful

Just came here because of dr.tenma from monster anime

Gorgeous. Too bad about the original church. War sucks. It destroys a lot of valuable and historical locations. Hate that!
Come and look at what was done to Coventry first.
Is this the most beautiful place on earth?
Honestly, we don't know 😀. There such a lot of beautiful places!
How much was lost or destroyed in ww2? in terms of cultural objects and buildings
Are you talking about lost architecture in Germany or Britain? Terrible damage was done to English cities early on in the war. Damage was done to Germany in retaliation. Quite right too.
About 90% of the old city of Dresden was totally destroyed. Now only 1% has been rebuilt in the old style.
A lot, but the nothern part was not affected and the center is largely back to its pre war shape.
@@rjuttemeijerBullshit. The old town in Dresden is pretty small. You are talking about the southern city but not the old town.
Woaw im patman 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

DYNAMO
De Mayer of Dresden destroyed the memorial for the victims of the Bombings in February 1945.

I don't think they are in there for murder. They are in there from their gang tattoo. They may or may not have been convicted of murder.

Horrible Video. Partly Bad weather, stressful music. Not the vibe of our city.
Too bad to hear you didn't like it. 😢
Yo what's up. Greetings from Dresden. It's actually beautiful here. But the people are very German 😐

beautiful city but unfortunately too many unfriendly people who are against foreigners. I thought Germany was behind it
Yes from 1933 😂
really? i wanted to visit end of Jan 2024..but now am scared
