Recently, just a few days ago, the Hollywood movie "Grand Budapest Hotel“ won 4 Oscars. It was was shot in a town east of Dresden called Görlitz and some part of it was also set in the famous Dresden Zwinger.
Dresdeners may find themselves rubbing their eyes in disbelief if and when they see the film Cinderella that will be released on the 12. March 2015. This is because the setting of it is in a castle that will remind them of their Zwinger. For a moment they may ask themselves..."Hey, wait a minute! Isn't that our..?!"This is because the castle in the film is not just strongly inspired by the Zwinger, but is also based on a digitalized image of it.
As far as the original building goes, it was built more than 300 years ago as an open-to- the-air venue for sumptous celebrations. The Saxon Elector who was also the King of Poland, Friedrich August, also called August the Strong, comissioned it. Needless to say, this masterpeice of baroque splendour is one of the tourist attractions in Dresden.
