I have been living in Dresden for more than ten years now, I was born in Saxony and am looking forward to introducing others to the history of my homeland and bringing history to life! I am currently working as a teacher and have studied history and philosophy. For some time now I have been particularly interested in the eastern part of our continent and the complex history that connects us in our eastern border region.

Tour description

My tour is about a historical look behind the scenes of the old town and the question of why today, several centuries after most of the buildings were first built, everything is where it is and what all of this has to do with a man who supposedly... is said to have fathered more than 300 children and bent horseshoes.

To do this, we start at the legendary "Princes' Procession" (Fürstenzug), a mural over a hundred meters long, made of tiles, which in turn, made of Meissen porcelain, depict all the princes and kings of the Wettin family, who ruled the kingdom of Saxony for more than eight hundred years . From there we continue, past all the buildings that date back to the reign of those same kings.

Furthermore, it is important to me to make clear the wealth of exhibitions and museums that Dresden undoubtedly has and to provide a rough overview of them. The sights that are located just outside the city are also mentioned here and there, so that the tour offers enough incentive and motivation to continue exploring the city and the region afterwards.
