Of the cities in Germany I've visited the central part of Dresden was the most beautiful.

About the bratwurst. Although “braten” means “to fry”, as it is used in “Bratkartoffeln” (fried potatoes), “brat” in “Bratwurst” comes from “Brät”, which is the spiced sausage “dough”

Great to hear that you are planning to visit Dresden. Here are my top ten as a local: 1. Frauenkirche 2. Residenzschloss (palace) with the historic green vault especially. (Book tickets in advance) 3. Fürstenzug 4. Semperopera 5. Old Masters Gallery (Gemäldegallerie Alte Meister) 6. Bundeswehr Military History Museum (military museum of the German Armed Forces, with its unique architecture) 7. Großer Garten (Great garden, with the Dresden Zoo and the park railway as highlights) 8. Elbwiesen (perfect to stroll along, great view on the Dresden "Skyline") 9. Neustadt at night time (hotspot of Dresden night life) 10. Visting the surroundings of Dresden (e.g. Moritzburg castle, Meißen, the National Park "Sächsische Schweiz")

That interaction in the market was typical of my experience of Germany, you might as well not bother trying German they all speak very good English and enjoy using it.

Hey, Guys. Your video is so enjoyable! Watching it made me feel like I was taking a relaxing stroll through a beautiful city. I was just wondering, what month were you in Dresden? I would love to stumble upon that cute open market when we visit, but I'm thinking we might be getting there too late for a summer market and too early for the Christmas market.

@@MaxandSidney Bavaria has many beautiful places and landscapes but I appreciate that you were in Dresden. For me, as a German patriot and lover of historical architecture, Dresden is a very special city and also with a charming environment. I once studied in Saxony, first in Zittau and then in Leipzig. Switzerland is of course lovely ;) P.S.: Have you ever heard of Saxon Switzerland? ;)

The Zwinger got its name from the place it was built in. A Zwinger (literally: enforcer) in medieval architecture is the space between the inner and the outer wall of a fortification. The little water on the aouth and western side of the Zwinger, the Zwingergraben and Zwingerteich, are the remainings of the old castle trench around Dresden proper. In the old fortification, Duke Elector Frederick the Strong had the Zwinger built as the place for the festivities on the occasion of the marriage of his son. The Zwinger is thus not a palace as such, it's an arena for concerts, dances and in historical times also battle shows and blood sports.

I hope you come back to Dresden! There are many fun facts hidden in details. For example, the Fürstenzug: Underneath the horse of Albrecht II is a rather thorny and mean looking flower. Albrecht II wasn't a good ruler, he liked alcohol, gambling and questioning company. The horse of August der Starke (August the Strong) is the ONLY horse that is trampling a flower. A rose, to be exact. That's because August changed his religion to become polish king. He "trampled" on the beliefs of his fathers and family. Quite a few such fun facts can be found throughout Dresden's histroical buildings. It's worth another visit, if you ask me!

The three Klemperer houses.

Semper Opera House, Green Vault and Raphael's Sistine Madonna - must see's not mentioned in this video.

what time of the year were you in Dresden? I'm spending a day there in June and I'd love to see this street market, I wonder if it will be there. like you guys I always say that one day I want to go see the christmas markets but I often travel in the summer.... so it would be awesome to see that there!

Although the former 800 year old city had endured a few fires from previous centuries...by the time of WW2 the materials used no longer existed.

Thanks for sharing. Going there later in the summer. I am HIGHLY allergic to alcohol. Not sure if they put any kind of alcohol in many of their common foods including mustard. Perhaps I should bring my own.

Very important for Dresden is also the "white fleet": This is the largest and oldest paddle steamer fleet in the world. This fleet belongs at least as much to Dresden as the Frauenkirche. On one of these steamships ("Diesbar") is even the oldest still operating steam engine in the world (built in 1841).

The fact that these rivers run so far explains why the region was so successful as a trading super power. Mexico for example has sp few rivers that travel inland that the country was never as successful as the USA. They still can't build a road connecting Central America

You barely scraped the surface of my beautiful hometown. 😅 Can't wait to show it my Kiwi hubby next year. But your video was a lovely introduction and I appreciate your massive effort of pronouncing things right. PS: it's a common misbelief that the Frauenkirche was destroyed in the bombings of Dresden. The church collapsed three days after. Not because it was hit by bombs, but because the film archive in its basement caught fire and burnt far hotter than any of the fires around the church.

What are things there to do as a pilot?

It is an often repeated myth, even by tour guides to tourists, that the blackened stone is due to bombing and burning. That is false. The blackening of the Saxon sandstone naturally happens over several decades, because of the oxidation of the high iron content in that particular stone. If you look at prewar photos the Frauenkirche is already completely black, so are all the other sandstone buildings in the city.

Being from Dresden: this is absolutely correct. The stains have nothing to do with the bombing. Sandstone is very porous and as a 100% natural material does not age evenly. Also when people rub the cherub's privates the aging process may get interrupted 😉 whereas cars contribute to faster darkening closer to the ground ...

Each building ages differently because the weather changes, there may or may not be increased foot traffic and car exhaustion, the number of birds changes, the stone comes from a different site and has different properties etc. Another thing to consider is that buildings get sandblasted in more or less regular intervalls to keep their sandy colour ...
