AFTER 1945: PART I - THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY
Modern buildings now blend together with reconstructed palaces, buildings of the socialist era and some brilliant contemporary architecture. We discover a city of contrasts and find many contemporary architectural jewels like the buildings of Sir Norman Foster, Daniel Libeskind and many others. On this tour we get a fairly good synopsis of the reconstruction of the city from 1951 to the present day.
AFTER 1945: PART II - COLD WAR AND THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL
Why was Dresden called 'the valley of the clueless'? Why were all the bombed out ruins of apartment houses in the city center razed by the socialist authorities? Where did Putin live in Dresden for more than four years? And what were his duties in the Saxon capital? What exactly happened in Dresden in October 1989 when this city became one of the centers of the growing civil disobedience movement, which led to the collapse of the Berlin wall? This tour will have you wonder about what happened in Dresden in between 1945 and 1990.
