Terence Hill ice cream Dresden
Now for something a bit special. I’ve wanted to visit Amelia in Italy for years. Is it a particularly beautiful town? It might be a nice place, but that’s not my reason – I want to go to Gelateria Girotti. It’s not a particularly award-winning or otherwise special ice-cream parlour, but it’s owned by Mario Girotti, better known as Terence Hill. However, as Amelia is rather inconveniently located, I haven’t managed to go yet, and it looks rather unlikely this year too, despite having two trips to Italy coming up.
Mario Girotti now has an ice-cream parlour not only in Amalia, but also in Dresden. The reason is simple: he spent several years of his childhood in Lommatzsch, near Dresden, where his mother is from. The ice-cream parlour is just a few metres from the Frauenkirche and is styled as a vegetarian Western saloon. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...edc918a8f9.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ced631ea3b.jpg The ice cream is made according to the salon’s original recipes in Amelia. It’s perfectly decent. Certainly not top-class gelato, but particularly good for Germany. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f86836cb49.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0a2777482f.jpg |
I can picture an arcade game where you insert a coin and try to slap the face of the head of Trinity before the machine slaps your face!!

Gemäldegallerie Alte Meister Dresden
I hardly need to introduce the Old Masters Gallery; it is one of the richest art collections in the world. It features a wealth of works by Canaletto and Rembrandt, including the *Sistine Madonna*, the *Chocolate Girl*, and much more.

Porzellansammlung Dresden
The second museum in the Zwinger is the porcelain collection. Not surprisingly, quite a collection has been amassed here.

Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon Dresden
The third museum in the Zwinger is the Mathematical-Physical Salon. Recently refurbished, it displays a wide variety of mathematical and astronomical instruments, as well as globes.

Zwinger Dresden
The kennels themselves have just been renovated, and some finishing touches are still being carried out. The complex was built for recreational purposes and has hosted many celebrations.

Hofkirche Dresden
The former Hofkirche is situated between the palace, the Zwinger and the Semperoper. It is unique in that, in Protestant Saxony, it is a large Catholic church – now the cathedral of the Diocese of Dresden/Meissen. This is because Augustus the Strong converted to Catholicism so that he could become King of Poland.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b083f5bbfa.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...abbe2230d8.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f4b32ee7ec.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0310316cde.jpg The interior of the church is brightly lit; of particular note is the memorial altar dedicated to the victims of the air raids, crafted from Meissen porcelain. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5b95a27e6.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4e9c24e816.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c2199c43d1.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ae0e56c1ac.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2889662a6f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9c3b595f86.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6dc84347ee.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2d93b915d0.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6c6615b3b6.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...492e10fa0b.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e67d8a8728.jpg As part of a guided tour, you can also visit the royal crypt beneath the church (Augustus the Strong is not buried here; only his heart is). I didn’t do that this time, as I’m already familiar with the crypt from previous visits. |
Fürstenzug Dresden
Right next to the Hofkirche is the Fürstenzug. It is a porcelain mural consisting of 23 porcelain tiles (made of Meissen porcelain, of course). It depicts all the Saxon rulers of the Wettin dynasty. Incidentally, the Fürstenzug survived the war quite well; the tiles withstood the fire.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8cf8a25a6c.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a14b080699.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...15edc8fb4d.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6d31862a85.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f2a76c6f66.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...86406d70f7.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d1e608656b.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...356e2bb506.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9c4ed79f8b.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f2671cc632.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0e14337e18.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5fa64b33b.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d2c1c666c9.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...33404e5b73.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ef85858c9d.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...24a13a22bd.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d65be91cb1.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6c3f019bdb.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d96c95a3c1.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...51e2b00ea7.jpg |
Frauenkirche Dresden
The Frauenkirche is undoubtedly one of Germany’s most famous churches. I can still clearly remember the ruins (the GDR also used these ruins as a memorial) and how the stones were sorted. It has now been a feature of the cityscape again for many years.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d3036f1742.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...10a4df628c.jpg The main church interior. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...80a2a3b8c3.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ea55d8ba1f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a1a713c24e.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...985ef998f9.jpg The crypt has also been rebuilt. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7d3df3c7de.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f5c54836e8.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f816147a56.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...615c840272.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...84a4e4d3c8.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...635ab3204c.jpg I can still clearly remember how watches and similar items were sold to fund the reconstruction. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...87bc06568d.jpg |
Brühlsche Terrasse Dresden
Next to the Hofkirche and the palace lies the Brühlsche Terrasse.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...11e343712c.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...35ec668538.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...16194028cb.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1c3d18ce00.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...86e881fc33.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...493b7041d3.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...950d9b2dbb.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...baa4d513c0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6b0a6d5e59.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...70867d830b.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dd0c690bbc.jpg |
Genuss Atelier Dresden
The Genuss Atelier restaurant has a Michelin star and is located in the basement of a villa by the Waldschlösschen Bridge (yes, the very one that cost Dresden its World Heritage status).
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0ba4a7bc47.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6bbb137ef1.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8c24da7491.jpg The menu. They were a bit taken aback when I wanted to order the set menu and said they didn’t actually have that many meat-free dishes (well, I count them a bit differently). But I think the real reason was that the kitchen closes at 9.30 pm. A bit odd, but even in the restaurant trade, people don’t want to work until midnight anymore. So we ended up with a 6-course surprise menu. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a571c051ce.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f58975d6cc.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...535b191937.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b0e9523478.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f41c8b4f06.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...02e48f36c0.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c8822793a5.jpg They came up with a clever idea for the cutlery.
