German Courses in Dresden: about Dresden, Germany
Learn German in Dresden – the «Florence on the Elbe»
Learning German in the city known as the «Florence on the Elbe» is a unique cultural experience. The Saxon metropolis with the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger and the Moritzburg castle is the centre par excellence of the German baroque style. Its highlights include magnificent buildings, world-famous art collections, and living traditions both in music and the fine arts.
Today, Dresden offers a unique blend of stunning architecture and great natural beauty of the countryside along the Elbe River, which is a world heritage sight dotted with wonderful castles and villas.
The academic diversity of Dresden is also noteworthy. Beside the Technical University, where the colour television was invented amongst other innovations, the Music Academy, the Palucca School of Dance and the Art Academy draw students to Dresden from all over Germany and abroad.
On the northern banks of the Elbe River lies the cosmopolitan quarter of Dresden-Neustadt which includes many small galleries, theatres, and colourful houses. Every night young people from all walks of life meet here and enjoy themselves in the numerous trendy bars, street cafés, and international restaurants.
Did you know that the famous writer Erich Kästner spent his childhood in the Neustadt? This is also where Kästner Kolleg has its home and lives up to the author’s motto: «There is nothing good: unless one does it».
