Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | Saxony, part of the former East Germany, remains a secret to most travelers. We’ll visit the two great cities of the region: the capital city of Dresden, with the opulent palaces and art treasures of the Wettin dynasty, and Leipzig, with its Bach heritage, a massive monument to the day Europe beat Napoleon, and museums remembering its communist heritage. #ricksteveseurope #dresden #leipzig

My grandmother was an organist in Dresden. After the bombing the church was destroyed as well as the organ. She did pick one of the flue pipes from one of the Prinzipal stops. It was bent and dented but still produced a sound. When I took up my first post as organist at the age of sixteen, she gave this flue pipe to me for my birthday. I still have it in a display cabinet with my collection of Steiff bears, the oldest from 1907 when she was born.

@@brucemarsico6, that's classic "whataboutism" and it's not a good look. Just because the Germans were barbaric to Leningrad doesn't make it correct or OK for us Americans to be barbaric to Dresden. There are monuments in "Leningrad" to German atrocities, and as an American I would like to see a monument in Dresden to American atrocities. It's very simple-minded to think that Americans have always been "the good guys" throughout history. Agent Orange and Vietnam, anyone? The only country to nuke millions of people? Twice!

As a Dresdener, I must confess that your documentary is just inspiring and great. You did a very good job here. Just one remark: it would have been more balanced to include also parts not at the centre of the city (Blue Wonder, Pillnitz e.g.) because many travellers also enjoy to see some nature/parks/landscape in easy reach from the city centre.

What other places do you suggest? We were in Dresden just after the river tours to Meissen stopped for the season. So disappointed. . But when returning,would like to see the neighboring areas you mention. We did travel to Bautzen, where the medieval towers were so striking and also learned more about other aspects of the history there. Would appreciate your other suggestions.

Ich habe 5 Jahre in Dresden gelebt, studiert und gearbeitet. Das ist jetzt 23 Jahre her. Den Wiederaufbau der Frauenkirche, bzw. den Anfang des Wiederaufbaus, habe ich erlebt , genauso wie die ersten Benefizkonzerte zugunsten des Wiederaufbaus. Ich habe die Frauenkirche aus dem offenen Dachstuhl des Coselpalais nebenan , das damals ebenfalls wieder aufgebaut wurde , besichtigen können. Gewohnt habe ich in der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs in einem Haus, dass nach dem Krieg aus den Ziegelsteinen der Kriegstrümmer wieder aufgebaut wurde. Zuvor hatte ich mit Freunden eine Dachgeschosswohnung in Löbtau, einem Stadtteil von Dresden, bei der die Türzargen verkohlt waren, weil im WK2 die Brandbomben ins Dach einschlugen (der Enkel des damaligen Besitzers sagte uns das). Ich liebe diese Stadt und die Zeit, die ich dort verbringen durfte. Danach lebte ich in Frankfurt am Main und heute in Nürnberg. Es ist schön, dass versucht wird, die Kriegswunden historizierend zu schließen. Gleiches gilt für mich für das sog. Humboldtforum in Berlin. Die Moderne ist bzgl. des Stadtbildes leider oft enttäuschend und uniform. Insofern werde ich bei den Bildern der Frauenkirche, der Mädlerpassage, des Römers und der Nürnberger Burg immer wieder emotional. Danke für dieses Video.

I stared at it for long moments wishing history could turn back the clock. It states Dresden, a city in Germany. Someday, I hope to see it in person. ----from California.

A former co-worker of mine actually visited the rebuilt Church of Our Lady - and she showed us photos; she could not stop talking about it. I love that people can come together to resurrect the beautiful centuries-old architecture that defined their cities. I especially love to see people happy again after all the persecutions and oppression they went through are gone. Wish I could travel and know several languages - just to make friends with the people I meet. And by the way - All the treasures of the Wettin dynasty - absolutely beautiful!

I don't know how it would be to visit again, in light of COVID-19, which I expect will linger for some time to come. Leipzig also was unique. I remember visiting the Battle of Nations monument and walking inside. I enjoy these travel videos, because frankly I don't have the stamina that I used to have, and they enable me to refresh my memory without any bother or expense.

So all cities of EU is smaller than the tiniest city the states? Didn't know that every american village has more than 10 million inhabitants. The problem with Europen cities vs american cities is that Europe uses its downtown for more than comerce, while americans prefer malls on the outskirts of a town to relax in. Dont know how big you think LA is, but LA is investing in a metro right now. California, Florida and some of the more densley populated states are getting better trains.Finding even more space for highways and airports in LA or the bay earea is almost impossible. The distance with long distace trains isnt the problem in the USA. You easely could upgrade tracks so that trains drive 200 miles the hour. Then Chicago-New York City only would take 4+ hours (depending on the stops). Its more that the tracks are privately owned by cargo companies. Thats why Amtraks Acela uses almost 7 hours on a trip it could do in 3 hours In theory you could do Boston-New York-Baltimore-Washington-Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Toledo-Chicago in 6 hours or Chicago-LA in 10 hours if you would do it as China does (some trains there do 1300 miles with only 2-3 stops)

During my trip through Germany in 2019 I never even considered Saxony as a destination. These days however I do wish I paid that land a visit. I will be reading more and more about it. As somebody from the former USSR, I expected to really dislike Berlin. That feeling echoed in any GDR state as well, including Saxony. Oh how wrong I was. That Napoleon war monument is just insane. Just insane...

I visited the DDR a number of times between 1966 and 1989. The people I stayed with were top doctors and surgeons. After a tip off that the Station were aware of me I booked into hotels for one night to get the Volkspolizei (Vopos) papers sorted then secretly stayed with my friends. I made friends with a girl my age (c18 in 1966) and I was able to get her some Beach Boys and Neil Diamond records right under the noses of the VolksGrenzpolizei. We were eventually able to meet in London in the 1990s. We are still in touch. I have many tales to tell but not here apart from forcing the Händelhaus in Halle/Saale to publish a guide in English as I told them that Handel became English!

respect from Romania, it was already the end of the war and Germany was collapsing on both fronts. the American air force was bombing military targets and the British were committing genocide. this is the cruel truth. a cultural city destroyed by a senile and drunken old man who later lost the UK elections. when the population of India was suffering from hunger, 3,000,000 people had already died, he said;; let them die because they multiplied like rabbits.;;. if I were a German, I would never forgive this genocide of the British
