Crypt of the Frauenkirche<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows the Frauenkirche. After a history of destruction and reconstruction, it has now become a symbol of peace and reconciliation. The crypt, however, has not made much of an impression on public awareness. And yet, there were even plans at one stage to leave the church itself unbuilt and to only use the crypt. I am particularly fascinated by Anish Kapoor\u2019s incredible altar stone, this monolith of black Irish limestone. When you look into the funnel in the middle, you have the feeling of staring into the abyss, into infinity. An impressive work with a great intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipal Library in the Kulturpalast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the Kulturpalast (Palace of Culture) still holds its ground among the famous Baroque buildings of Dresden is a statement that this is a city that does not deny its past. And that it has been chosen as the location for the city\u2019s main library is a statement of intent. The municipal library was opened only recently, and from an architectural perspective, it is a fantastic space. The labyrinthine layout gives the impression that the number of rooms and of books is endless. You don\u2019t even have to borrow them and carry them home. My tip for a rainy Saturday afternoon is a visit to the new central library where you can lounge around on the comfortable seating, enjoy what the place has to o er, thumb through printed material, watch a video or listen to an audiobook. Indeed, you can even try out musical instruments. It is a profoundly democratic place that is open to everyone, with or without a membership card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese Palace<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As far as reconstruction is concerned, the Japanisches Palais seems to undermine Dresden\u2019s claim to perfection. It is still a ruin, a romantic, unfinished place \u2013 but in a fantastic setting with a double Canaletto-style panoramic view at the point where Altstadt meets Neustadt. I like sitting there during the Palais Sommer<\/a> season, having a drink and listening to a concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Klingenberg reservoir<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A pleasant 11km walk around the reservoir starts at the impressive dam designed by the expressionist architect Hans Poelzig and built between 1908 and 1914 by a work- force of more than 5,000 labourers. However, a trip to the reservoir isn\u2019t on every tourist\u2019s must-see list. The walk takes you through a leafy forest with the clear water constantly in view. You are mostly alone with yourself and the beauty of nature. Ever since I found out that sixty percent of Dresden\u2019s drinking water comes from this reservoir, I\u2019ve happily only drunk tap water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kunstblumenmanufaktur Heide Steyer in Wallsroda<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I actually prefer real flowers, but what Heide and Gerald Steyer create in Wallroda isn\u2019t artificial flowers but high art. Heide Steyer\u2019s flowers are overwhelming visual impressions. They are bought by some of the world\u2019s biggest fashion houses, for example Valentino, Chanel and Dior, so you will see them on the cover of Vogue magazine several times a year. At the same time, they demonstrate the fragile nature of life \u2013 that intermediate state between blossoming and withering. The variety of colours, the subtlety in the gradation is just as incredible as the huge storerooms with metre-long shelves full of metal die-cutters for every conceivable shape of leaf and flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
