The partial solar eclipse on 20th March is no reason to stay indoors

Arriving in Dresden next weekend and looking forward to a walking tour? Maybe on Friday the 20th of March?
Great, we can welcome the sun back after 2 hours 20 minutes and 13 seconds of a partial solar eclipse because it ends 3 minutes before we begin the tour!

It is a partial eclipse after all, so finding our way to us won't be difficult. But it's a great excuse to post the details of the meeting point again to help you find the way to us. So here goes.... ;)

The Dresden Zwinger makes a new debut in 2016

Soon after we heard that the Dresden Zwinger was to feature in the film 'Cinderella', another interesting peice of news has hit the newspapers. A new development with which the priceless heritage site, that cannot be purchased at any cost, can be used to buy something. Confusing? Not really, because from 2016 onwards the 2 Euro coin will carry an illustration of the Zwinger!

The design of the 30 Million such coins to be released from February next year has been conceptualized by the designer Jordi Truxa. It is part of a series „Bundesländer“ which will supposedly bring the citizens in contact with the significant buildings in the various states of Germany. This concept has been around for some time now and the other ten that already exist are: : Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hamburg, Saarland, Bremen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Bayern, Niedersachsen und Hessen.

Not been to Dresden yet to see this gorgeous baroque architecture? Then be inspired by a fairy tale or a shining new coin, both are good enough reasons!
