Dresden (Germany) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Dresden in Saxony.
Dresden is the capital of the German Free State of Saxony and a major centre of culture with a remarkable history.The Wettner Dynasty developed the old town during eight hundred years of power and Friedrich August The First, known as ,The Strong, became its most prominent figure. He had the Zwinger, a kind of outdoor banqueting hall that was intended to be a meeting place of the nobility, designed by the architect, Poppelmann, and sculptor, Balthasar Permoser. As a centre of art and science, Dresden Castle contains a number of collections that are well known throughout the world and draw international visitors to this most ambitiously conceived and successful project. Close by, the stable courtyard is the world's oldest original tournament area of its kind. Its Tuscan-arched arcades originated in the Renaissance period and were used by spectators during various tournaments and entertainments. Count Brühl, a follower of Friedrich August The Second, was presented with the Elb Wall as a gift and had a mile-long walkway built for the nobility. It is ten metres above the banks of the River Elbe and is accessed via an external staircase from Castle Square. Today, Dresden is a harmony of both architecture and landscape and a brilliant work of art!

Dresden und Sächsische Schweiz | WDR Reisen
Dresden ist die Landeshauptstadt des Freistaats Sachsen. Man bezeichnet sie auch als Florenz des Nordens. Jana Forkel lässt sich bei #lookslike von den schönsten Instagram-Fotos inspirieren und findet heraus, ob diese Orte auch in der analogen Welt eine Reise wert sind. Sie besucht die historische Altstadt an der Elbe mit der Frauenkirche, dem Zwinger und der Semperoper und entdeckt das Szeneviertel der Neustadt mit seinen Kneipen und kunstvoll gestalteten alten Hinterhöfen. Aber auch die nah angrenzende Sächsische Schweiz bereist sie. Die atemberaubende Landschaft des Elbsandsteingebirges mit ihren bizarren Felsen und kühlen Schluchten ist eines der schönsten Wanderreviere. Ihre Highlights dort sind die Bastei, der Kuhstall und die größte Festung Europas .

Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Semper Opera House
Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Semper Opera House
The Semperoper is the opera house of the Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden and the concert hall of the Staatskapelle Dresden. It is also home to the Semperoper Ballett. The building is located near the Elbe River in the historic centre of Dresden, Germany.
The opera house was originally built by the architect Gottfried Semper in 1841. After a devastating fire in 1869, the opera house was rebuilt, partly again by Semper, and completed in 1878. The opera house has a long history of premieres, including major works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.
The first opera house at the location of today's Semperoper was built by the architect Gottfried Semper. It opened on 13 April 1841 with an opera by Carl Maria von Weber. The building style itself is debated among many, as it has features that appear in three styles: early Renaissance and Baroque, with Corinthian style pillars typical of Greek classical revival. Perhaps the most suitable label for this style would be eclecticism, where influences from many styles are used, a practice most common during this period. Nevertheless, the opera building, Semper's first, was regarded as one of the most beautiful European opera houses.
Following a devastating fire in 1869, the citizens of Dresden immediately set about rebuilding their opera house. They demanded that Gottfried Semper do the reconstruction, even though he was then in exile because of his involvement in the May 1849 uprising in Dresden. The architect had his son, Manfred Semper, build the second opera house using his plans. Completed in 1878, it was built in Neo-Renaissance style. During the construction period, performances were held at the Gewerbehaussaal, which opened in 1870.
Today, the orchestra for most operas is the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden. The Generalmusikdirektor (GMD) of the Semperoper is normally a different person from that of the Staatskapelle when it presents concerts. Exceptions have been Karl Böhm, Hans Vonk, and Fabio Luisi who have held both positions. Whilst the Semperoper does not have a GMD as of 2015, the current chief conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden is Christian Thielemann, as of the 2012/13 season. The current Intendant (General Manager) of the company is Wolfgang Rothe.

Walking in DRESDEN / Germany ????????- Rainy Afternoon in the Old Town - 4K 60fps (UHD)
Dresden / Germany is one of the main tourist destinations in Germany. As the capital of the state of Saxony it has several historical attractions that we visit regularly on POPtravel.
We start our Dresden Tour at the Brühl's Terrace. It's a relaxing day on a weekend where people enjoy a stroll. We get to the Schlossplatz and also se the Fürstenzug, which is a large mural of the past rulers of Saxony.
As we head to the Altmarkt the weather turns a bit rainy. We get to the Neumarkt with the famous Frauenkirche and see the Terassenufer. Now the rain starts, the videos stops a bit while I'm getting an umbrella out.
Some sights are still left to see as we head back into the old town. The Semperoper and the Zwinger are a must when tourists visit Dresden. We see both and head towards the Postplatz, where we end this tour.

Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Military History Museum
Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Military History Museum
The Bundeswehr Military History Museum is the military museum of the German Armed Forces, the Bundeswehr, and one of the major military history museums in Germany. It is located in a former military arsenal in the Albertstadt which is part of Dresden. After a long history of switching titles and approaches to military history, the museum was re-opened in 2011 with a new internal and external concept. The museum focuses on the human aspects of war, while also showcasing the evolution of German military technology.
The original building, the armory, was built between 1873-1876 and became a museum in 1897. Originally the Saxon armory and museum, the building has served as a Nazi museum, a Soviet museum and an East German museum which reflected the region's shifting social and political positions over the last 135 years. In 1989, the museum was closed because the newly unified German state was unsure how the museum would fit into the history being created. By 2001, feelings regarding the museum had shifted and an architectural competition was held for an extension which would cause visitors to reconsider the way they think about war.
The original armory building was completed in 1876 as an armory for Kaiser Wilhelm I. The Arsenal main building in the center of Dresden's Albert City served as an armory for roughly twenty years, until it was transformed into a museum in 1897. Since then, the main building of the arsenal has housed the Royal Arsenal Collection, the Royal Saxon Army Museum, and in 1923 became the Saxon Army Museum. After 1938, the museum became the Army Museum of the Wehrmacht, and in 1972 the Army Museum of the GDR. Seven months before the reunification of Germany, the museum was renamed the Military History Museum in Dresden.
On February 13 and 14, 1945, British bomber planes commenced an air attack against Dresden, creating a vast firestorm below. During the first phase, 244 Lancaster bombers dropped high explosive and incendiary bombs aimed at the center of the city. American B-17 bombers followed the next morning, to destroy the city's railroad marshaling yards. While much of the city was in ruins, the Bundeswehr's main military museum and most of the other military buildings in the Albertstadt survived the bombing of Dresden because of its location on the city's outskirts. The building withstood World War II attacks on Germany and continued to be used as a military museum until it was closed in 1989. It re-opened again in 2011 and provided a new way of presenting military history. The exhibition concept and design was developed by HG Merz.
The museum has made an effort to distance itself from the usual presentations of military history. Instead of glorifying war and armies, the museum tries to present the causes and consequences of war and violence. The focus is placed on the human component of war, on the hopes, fears, passion, courage, memories and aspirations of those involved. The museum seeks to inform visitors about the military history while encouraging them to ask questions and seek new answers. Visitors can go through the museum through two approaches: thematic sections, and a chronological tour. Additionally, the museum showcases the history of Military Technology, Handguns, Uniforms and Insignia, Order, Art, an Image Archive, Records, and a Library.
