Dresden is truly one of the most beautiful cities in Germany! Are you planning a trip to Germany any time soon?
We are heading there in May. I've done a ton of research but your videos bring it all to life. Thank you!!
I’ll be visiting Dresden in November. Can’t wait!
I'm visiting Dresden in October
I'm going to Dresden in November ❤
We arrive tonite December 9, 2023 in Dresden for the Christkindlmarkt
As someone who lived in Dresden his whole life it's interesting to see it from an outside perspective
We really appreciate you watching the video! We absolutely loved your city. I am sure there is so much that we missed since we only had the one day. Hoping to visit you again soon!
The reconstruction is amazing - so cool that they incorporated as much of the original structures as possible. Thanks for the history lesson!
Thanks for watching, Hanna! It was a remarkably beautiful city, very inspiring to see how it has bounced back from such a tragic chapter in history
I was in Dresden last summer. Beautiful city.
It really is! We enjoyed it as well, we didn’t have enough time! Hoping to go back eventually
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”
What?? Seriously? We always thought it meant fried sausage!! Ahh, we still have so much to learn 😂
Gorgeous place, can't wait to visit.
Thank you! DRESDEN 🤎
Thanks for watching! We absolutely loved Dresden!
Watching your video here in Dresden 😊. Spend 2 nights here and im leaving tommorow
Hope you had a great time visiting Dresden!
Loved the narration, history, and editing (and pronunciation index!). This city now added to my wife & I’s must visit list. Well done 👍
Thanks for the video! It's sometimes hard to see the beautiful parts of a city if you live there, but it's fantastic to see it so appreciated!
Fun fact for the Frauenkirche: The new gold cross adorning the top was made by an English goldsmith whose father was a pilot that took part in the bombing of the city. A beautiful symbol.
Thank you so much, it’s so nice to get input from a local! We wished we had more time, I am sure there is so much more to see. That is a very interesting fact about the Frauenkirche and definitely very symbolic!
I had a bad night but your video really brightened my mood, dankeschön ! :)
Sorry to hear you were having a bad night, but so happy the video changed that! Thanks for watching 😁
Nice city and most importantly nicely captured. Kudos
Thank you for watching! So happy to hear you enjoyed it, we absolutely loved our time in Dresden! We just wish we had more 😆
great content!! Looking forward to visiting Dresden very soon
Thanks for watching! Enjoy Dresden when you go, it is a fantastic city!
I really want to go to Dresden so bad, but so many places on my list 😀
Ich war 1997 in Dresden. Und ja vieles hat sich zum positiven geändert.... Vielen Dank für das tolle Video 👍
We absolutely loved Dresden! We may return some day, we wanted at least one more day!
Thank you sooo much for this beautiful video about my Dresden Max and Sidney. Hope you has a very good times here and you come back sometimes for visit again. Kind regards Petra from Dresden
Thank you for the comment! We hope to visit again, I am sure there is so much we missed in our short time! We really enjoyed it, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany 😊
Nice video of my hometown👍🤩
Thank you for watching! We LOVED Dresden!
this is the best video ive seen on visiting Dresden
Thank you so much, we really appreciate that! So glad you enjoyed it 😁
Just a point of note..it was "allied" airforces which bombed dresden not just the royal air force..Thought that should be pointed out to avoid confusion.
Great video guys! I really want to go "Auf Dresden jetzt" (to Dresden now) after watching your video. Also just subscribed to your video newsletter! A new fan from Northern Kentucky (metro Cincinnati)
So happy you found our channel! We love meeting fellow travel enthusiasts 😄 we can’t recommend Dresden enough! We really wished we had one more day to explore! So nice to meet you, we really appreciate the sub! 👍
The correct german phrase would be „jetzt nach Dresden“ greetings :)
00:32 "Every time Dresden has risen from the ashes" ,Thanks for your video
Absolutely! We loved our time in Dresden, and it was fun to share our experience. Thanks for watching!
Very well done!
Regards from an Eastern Bavarian in Western Switzerland ;)
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the video! We still haven’t made it to Bavaria, we will have to change that as soon as possible! 😄 but Switzerland is so lovely!
@@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? ;)
Dresden is a very special place. Must visit in Germany.
Absolutely love Dresden! 😊
Can't visit it anywhere else🤭😂
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.
Thank you! We are so excited to hear you enjoyed it! We were there in mid September, it was a really lovely time to be there!
I am currently in the early stages of planning a two-week trip to Germany 🇩🇪 this fall. Dresden is on my list of places to visit.
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")
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.
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.
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!
tolles video & dein deutsch hörte sich richtig gut an! greetings from leipzig
Thank you so much for watching! So glad you enjoyed it! We can’t wait to return to Germany 🇩🇪 ❤️
This is a very good educational video.. But, how many days do you recommend.. ?
The three Klemperer houses.
Loved this! Visited Dresden last summer and loved how everything was beautifully rebuit! Me and my friend stayed for a week and walked around in the late evening on our first night hoping to find any bar open, but everyting was closed, and the centre was completely abandoned on a summer night, leaving us stunned!!! We visited the Neustad, the beautiful cog railway in a suburb and Saxon Switserland :) I love watching your videos, if you ever find yourselves in Amsterdam I would love to show you around!
Thank you for watching, so happy to hear you enjoyed it! We are hoping to make it to Amsterdam soon!
Was empty maybe cuz was pandemy??
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).
Wow, that's fascinating! We will be sure not to miss it next time!
@@MaxandSidney If it is possible for you, then you should come to Dresden again on May 1. Every year on this day is the "Steamship Parade", where all historic steamboats are in action at the same time. This is definitely an experience!
Kaffefahrt rocks!!!
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
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.
You were there at the spring market. That is our spring market. Shame you didn't tried quarkbällchen.
Ahh, okay! That makes sense! We will have to try quarkbällchen next time 😁
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.
Ooooh, Germany is definitely a tough place for that 😅 but I am sure you will find places that are accommodating! It is a beautiful country, it’s not just the beer 😂
Have you guys visited. Nuremberg. Bamberg and regensberg. Having been all over Germany. They have to be nicest for me and can all be done within same trip.
We haven’t been to any of those, but we have heard they are lovely! We will definitely have to add them to the list someday! Definitely agree, visiting Germany is so welcoming and so fun 🇩🇪👍
@@MaxandSidney Bamberg simply stunned me. Regensberg and Nuremberg much bigger cities. But bamberg was so picturesque. Only one I need to do in Bavaria is Würzburg now
is it far from the Dresden train station?
As a American living in Dresden almost 28 years its always nice to see Travel Vids over Dresden.Nice camera work good sound but you really need to get your facts straight ( Thats not the Christmas Market)( and the black color in the sand stone is not from fire) other than that nice vid.
Thanks for the info and so glad you enjoyed the video! Dresden is such a beautiful place, it must be amazing to live there!
Nette stadt 👍👍
We loved the city! Stunning!
At 1:32, a cafe called Ayers Rock? Do Aussies run this cafe? Must find out on our trip next year.
Yes, it indeed intends to offer Australian cuisine ... though having moved to NZ and visited Oz a few times ... nah, not really 😅 back in the day (when I still lived in Dresden) I had kangaroo there.
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.
Really? We read a lot about it, that’s so interesting that it’s such a widespread myth! Thanks for the info 👍
But why is blacking inconsistent . Even in the churches which were not damaged much there is lot of inconsistent dark coloring . This is true especially of the buildings on the bruhls terrace where many parts are light while many parts are dark .
@@remarkableshailesh Most likely because parts were replaced at different times. Sandstone isn't the most resilient material (acid rain doesn't help either) and also is prone to discolouration. Think of how copper roofs turning green or silverware turning dark / black.
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 ...
@@DerBoy483How long is a piece of string? 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 ...
Nice Job. But you missed Dresden-Neustadt.
We definitely didn’t have enough time, we will have to come back again! 😊
@@MaxandSidney For sure. You wouldn't regret it!
What are things there to do as a pilot?
I got admitted into TU Dresden and am to resume my study in October, 2023. So, I find this presentation very useful. Please, is there African market in Dresden? Please How do I cope without Africa dishes in Dresden??
Congratulations on your admission! We are glad you enjoyed the video 👍 we did not find any African markets, not entirely sure where they would be. However, Dresden is fairly international with the universities! Hopefully you will be able to find some African dishes somewhere in the city!
@@MaxandSidney thank you!
@@jonathanotoide8969Hi I'm from Dresden, I can at least tell you there are good African restaurants here. Like Mama Africa in Dresden's Neustadt. We have many Asian supermarkets and also Turkish. I think that since we also have an African Communist, you will surely have a shop with african Find food. I wish you every success at university.
good vid, did you know that the trabbi-sculpture at 1:22 has a pp?
What?? No we didn’t see it!! That’s funny 😂
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.
Yes, we were so sad that we couldn't stay longer, we just had the one day! Oh well, it gives us a reason to visit again (which we absolutely can't wait to do)! Thanks for the info, we are learning so much from the comments!
Leipzig isnt larger, Dresden 328km² and Leipzig 287km², Dresden has more space, more green and more friendly people
These numbers are off. Leipzig is 297,5 km*km and has a higher population. Leipzig is much greener with a lot more parks and friendlier people as Dresden has been voted the unfriendliest city in Germany.
*correction: 2nd most unfriendly city in Germany, pardon.
@@CollineinfachCollinex NEVER EVER
@@CollineinfachCollinex Absolutely Wrong !!!
Dresden has a green index of 63% Leipzig only 31%.
Have you ever been in Dresden? You never wouldnt say such wrong stupid nonsens !!!!!
@@CollineinfachCollinex That's absolutely not true, the people there in Dresden are really very friendly and comfortable!
Why do you do this? Or most likely you are a typical Leipziger who is jealous of Dresden...
Pooo
Hahaha 😂
Start pronouncing the city's correctly
Dresden 1 Tag in einem 10 Minuten Video, dazu noch mit geklauten Bildern !!! Läuft bei dir.
Thanks for watching anyway! 😊👍
dresden is the racist-capital of germany
