Activities in DresdenIndividual Sights in DresdenSight 1: Kirche zu Dresden-Loschwitz
The Loschwitz Church is a baroque church in the Loschwitz district of Dresden. It was the first church built by the architect of the Dresden Frauenkirche, George Bähr. The churchyard, which was used as a cemetery until 1907, is one of the few 18th-century churchyards in Saxony that is still in its original state and is the smallest cemetery in the city at about 400 square meters. The Loschwitz church and cemetery are under monument protection.
Sight 2: Alte Feuerwache Loschwitz
The old fire station Loschwitz is a historical fire station and is now used as a socio -cultural center. The building is located near the Elbe in the Loschwitz district of Dresden.
Sight 3: Loschwitzer Brücke
Loschwitz Bridge is a cantilever truss bridge over the river Elbe in Dresden the capital of Saxony in Germany. It connects the city districts of Blasewitz and Loschwitz, two affluent residential areas, which around 1900 were amongst the most expensive in Europe. It is located close to Standseilbahn Dresden funicular railway and the world's oldest suspension railway Schwebebahn Dresden, as well as near the Dresden TV tower. The bridge is colloquially referred to as Blaues Wunder. This common name purportedly referred to the bridge's original blue colour and being seen as a technological miracle at the time; it is also understood to carry the cynical connotation referencing the German idiom ein blaues Wunder erleben meaning "to experience an unpleasant surprise", reflecting the skeptical view of contemporary commentators. There is also a bridge in Wolgast known as Blaues Wunder.
Sight 4: Heilig-Geist-Kirche
The Evangelical Church of the Holy Spirit is a listed sacred building in the Dresden district of Blasewitz and today one of the three places of worship of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Dresden-Blasewitz.
Sight 5: Märchenbrunnen
The Fairy Tale Fountain is a fountain in Hermann-Seidel-Park in the Striesen district of Dresden, Germany. The fountain was donated in 1903 by Bruno Hietzig, the then owner of the C.G. Kunath Granitwerke from Demitz-Thumitz, as part of the German Urban Design Exhibition. The fountain was designed by the architects Schilling & Graebner, probably Paula Hietzig, the founder's wife. It was originally located on the event site near the Lingner Pavilion. After its completion, it was moved to Johann-Georgen-Allee, near today's German Hygiene Museum. In 1930, as part of the construction work surrounding the Hygiene Museum, the fountain was moved to today's Hermann-Seidel-Park, where it was renovated in 1991, and the metal work of the Grimm fairy tale about Little Brothers and Little Sisters, which had been lost during the implementation in 1930, was replaced by a replica.
Sight 6: Technische Sammlungen Dresden

The special feature is the combination of technology and industrial history with science and current research. The technical collections are the country of adventure, public forum for technology research, museum of information society and podium for photography and animated film in one.
