[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dresden, Germany is the capital city of the state of Saxony and sits in an area that races back human habitation to the Neolithic period. In approximately 600 B.C., Germanic tribes settled in the Elbe river region. These settlers left about a thousand years later, making way for the Slavonic peoples who eventually founded Drezdany—a settlement where Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) currently stands. It’s from Drezdany that the later settlement of Dresden would derive its name. There are some sections of the city—Zschertnitz and Gompitz—that show its Slavonic roots. Dresden’s rich cultural heritage makes it a popular tourist site in Germany.
The Old Town suffered heavy damage during World War II, but since reunification, efforts have been undertaken and Old Town is in the process of being restored to its former elegance.
The Frauenkirche is definitely one of the most popular tourist attractions in Dresden. Designed by Dresden’s architect - George Bähr a master of the Baroque style - in the 18th century, the church featured an usually large 314 feet (95 meters) high dome.
The Frauenkirche was destroyed during World War II. Reconstruction was attempted throughout the years, but it wasn’t until 1993 that the revival actually began.
