Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze rustling through the leaves? Close your eyes and you might just hear the stories this place holds. Look to your left, and you'll see the monument to Schiller, a nod to the famous German poet. But today, it's about another story—Jorge Gomondai’s. He was the first foreign person to fall victim to racist violence in the post-reunification era here in Dresden. His tragic story sparked societal change. This square is not just a peaceful retreat but a living testament to tolerance and humanity. Take a moment to let that sink in while you enjoy the serene surroundings.
