Guided Story

Here, you're at a crossroads where Nürnberger Straße meets Münchner Straße. Once, this area had a circular design, changed due to wartime destruction. The original shape is still visible along the street edges. To the southeast, you can see the Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau. Southward, towards the Gustav Anton Zeuner monument, you get a sense of the vibrant district of Südvorstadt. This area has been central to Dresden's urban development.
