Self-guided Sightseeing Tour #15 in Dresden, Germany

Dresden Hauptbahnhof is the largest passenger station in the Saxon capital of Dresden. In 1898, it replaced the Böhmischen Bahnhof of the former Saxon-Bohemian State Railway, and was designed with its formal layout as the central station of the city. The combination of a station building on an island between the tracks and a terminal station on two different levels is unique. The building is notable for its train-sheds, which are roofed with Teflon-coated glass fibre membranes. This translucent roof design, installed during the comprehensive restoration of the station at the beginning of the 21st century, allows more daylight to reach the concourses than was previously possible.

The Güntzwiesen are a green space and urban open space in Dresden. They are the location of the Dresden Stadium, named after Rudolf Harbig, the home of SG Dynamo Dresden. The Güntzwiesen bear their name after Justus Friedrich Güntz, who in 1856 set up a foundation (Güntzstiftung), whose funds were later used to design the meadows, among other things. Its northern part has been called Cockerwiese since 2016, after this name had already existed colloquially since Joe Cocker's big concert on June 2, 1988.

The teaching building at Blochmannstraße 2 is located in the Pirnaische Vorstadt in Dresden. The building in Blochmannstraße was built in 1911/1912 according to plans by the city planning officer Hans Erlwein as a new educational building for the expansion of the Ehrlichsche Stift. After its partial destruction in the air raids in the final phase of the Second World War, reconstruction took place in 1950/1951 in the style of socialist classicism of "peculiar, sober beauty" using the existing building fabric in "based on the traditional Dresden building method". A sandstone rustica and a vertical structuring by pilaster strips on the upper floors are hallmarks of the building.

The Trinitatiskirche was a church building dedicated to the Holy Trinity in the Johannstadt district of Dresden. It was built from 1891 to 1893. The bombing raids of February 1945 completely burned down its aisle, badly damaged the main walls and parish hall, slightly damaged the bell tower and completely destroyed the roof and interior. The debris began to be removed in 1945 and the tower provisionally repaired in 1950. The hall was rebuilt in the mid-1950s and plans in the 1960s to pull down the church ruins were stopped by the parish developing a project to build a room for church services and a conference centre, and so the church's ruins still remain.
