.. the city of Meissen (famous for china manufacture - Meissner Porzellan!)

and finally the pearl of all Elbe cities: DRESDEN (Schauspielhaus and Zwinger)

Semper - Oper

and the miracle of Dresden: Frauenkiche. Bombed down in 1945, still in heaps of debris when I came first in 1989, and now risen from the ashes, fresh and new, showing man's power of going on: We shall overcome...

so that Dresden's skyline is now changed, really changed !
