Beneath the Balcony of Europe
T
ucked between the Academy of Fine Arts
and the Albertinum, an elevator takes
you from Bruehl’s Terrace down to Dresden
Fortress. This is where Dresden’s best-kept secret
lurks. Mighty walls surrounding the 400-yearold
brick gate give an indication of the military
background of courtly splendor. The place where
Johann Friedrich Boettger invented European
porcelain in his laboratory in 1707 is now
home to »Festung Xperience« a multimedia
production. On an area covering 1,500 square
meters, breathtaking 360-degree projections
and atmospheric audio technology bring the
eventful history of what was once Germany’s
most modern bastion fortress to life.
The city presents itself in baroque charm above
the fortress casemates: From Bruehl’s Terrace,
commissioned by Heinrich von Bruehl guests
can gaze out over the panorama of the Elbe
River and its white paddle steamers. This is
where people from all over the world have been
meeting since time immemorial. It therefore
comes as no surprise that the fortified building,
which has been transformed into a promenade,
is also known as the »Balcony of Europe«.
