Guided Story

Imagine standing in a place that once powered the city. Look up and take in the facade, telling tales from an era when coal and steam ruled. Just behind you, the Energy Museum stands as a testament to the technological marvels that once hummed here. If you turn and look south, you'll spot the tjg. theater junge generation and the Staatsoperette Dresden. Today, this place buzzes with cultural life, but over a hundred years ago, it was the hum of machinery that filled the air. Founded in 1897, this building is a heritage monument of Saxon industrial history, now alive with new performances. Feel the stories in the walls as operettas and theater productions fill the stage.
