Neumarkt Dresden

You should consider visiting Dresden for a longer period of time. The few hours we had were only enough for a brief insight. The many artistic and historical buildings restored after the Second World War take a lot of time if you want to find out more on site.

Dresden Neumarkt with Frauenkirche, a must when visiting Dresden

The Neumarkt in Dresden is a square in the inner old town between the Altmarkt and the Elbe. Like Theaterplatz, Schloßplatz and Altmarkt, it is one of the most important squares in Dresden's old town.The Neumarkt was created in the 16th century after the old city wall was relocated, incorporating the Jüdenhof as a second market square, and was enlarged after the secularization of the Frauenkirchhof in the 18th century. The predominantly preserved baroque buildings on Neumarkt were largely destroyed by the air raids on Dresden in February 1945. After the rubble was cleared, its boundaries were removed and it appeared as a spacious open space around the ruins of the Frauenkirche, bordered by the Johanneum, the Culture Palace and the ruins of the Kurland Palace. During the clearing of rubble, stable and rebuildable building ensembles were also demolished, such as those on Rampische Strasse.
