Dresden and beyond

Find out what Dresden has to offer to international guests and students

Dresden has been in the news in recent years very often. And not only for its history or its impressive collection of art. But it has indeed a much friendlier and open face, that was not often enough mentioned by the news. 

Dresden hosts a couple of international hubs and centers where people from all over the world can meet and start network. See for yourself how Dresden tries to bring together the world. 

"Η Δρέσδη ήταν μια θαυμάσια πόλη, γεμάτη τέχνη και ιστορία και όμως όχι ένα μουσείο που κατοικείτο τυχαία από εξακόσιες πενήντα χιλιάδες Δρεστενούς. Το παρελθόν και το παρόν ζούσαν σε αρμονία μεταξύ τους. Στην πραγματικότητα, θα έπρεπε να διαβάζει: σε αρμονία. Και μαζί με το τοπίο, με τον Έλβα, τις γέφυρες, τις πλαγιές, τα δάση και τα βουνά στον ορίζοντα, υπήρχε ακόμη και μια τριάδα. Η ιστορία, η τέχνη και η φύση αιωρούνταν πάνω από την πόλη και την κοιλάδα, από τον καθεδρικό ναό του Μέισεν μέχρι το πάρκο του κάστρου Großsedlitz, σαν μια συγχορδία που μαγεύεται από τη δική της αρμονία".

 

Erich Kästner

„Dresden war eine wunderbare Stadt, voller Kunst und Geschichte und trotzdem kein von sechshundertfünfzigtausend Dresdnern zufällig bewohntes Museum. Die Vergangenheit und die Gegenwart lebten miteinander im Einklang. Eigentlich müßte es heißen: im Zweiklang.
Und mit der Landschaft zusammen, mit der Elbe, den Brücken, den Hügelhängen, den Wäldern und mit den Gebirgen am Horizont, ergab sich sogar ein Dreiklang. Geschichte, Kunst und Natur schwebten über Stadt und Tal, vorn Meißner Dom bis zum Großsedlitzer Schloßpark, wie ein von seiner eignen
Harmonie bezauberter Akkord.“

Erich Kästner
