Guided Story

Standing here, you're in the presence of a remarkable piece of history: the Historic City Boundary of Dresden. This boundary stone, recognized as a heritage monument in Saxony, marks the old limits of the city. If you look to the west, about 137 meters away, you'll find the Hebestelle 40, another heritage-protected site. These stones not only delineate geographic borders but also reflect historical moments that shaped Dresden's development. To the southwest, roughly 143 meters away, is the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics. So close to modern science and technology, this spot offers a glimpse into the past, symbolizing the city's history and growth.
