Guided Story

Have you ever wondered how city boundaries shift over time? Right where you’re standing, a historic boundary stone marks Dresden’s old limits. Look to your right, along Goetheallee, and imagine the city's edge as it once was. This sculpture isn’t just a stone; it’s a silent witness to the passage of time and change. Behind you, the river at Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer once served as a natural boundary. It's fascinating to see how the cityscape around you has evolved, while this stone has remained in place for centuries. A small step back in time, right in the heart of the present.
