112 At the same height as the Waldschlösschen are the broadest local expanses of the Elbe meadows and the peak of the Elbe river bend, its median point between Altstadt and Loschwitz. It is from this point that two emblems of <strong>Dresden</strong> are visible: the city skyline with the restored Frauenkirche, as well as that engineering marvel of the Elbe Valley, the “Blue Wonder” bridge. The position of the vantage point at Waldschlösschen, in the middle of the Elbe river bend, contributes to the feeling of open space, while both distant landmarks make a combined visual impression. The distances to the Frauenkirche and to the Loschwitz Bridge are combined in the mind of the viewer. For this effect to take place, the spatial context of the valley and floodplain must be undisturbed. Exactly at this point, that is, at the vertex of the bend, is where the Waldschlösschen Bridge would create a break in the view of the landscape, a split into two almost equally sized areas, but which could not be visually recombined to create a whole. The sense of space would be destroyed; it would be lost over the long term, thereby effacing this particular experience of landscape. Any bridge is more than just a stroke within a landscape. When a landscape is truly appreciated, our visual, acoustic, and tactile sense-perceptions are all stimulated. Thus, the sounds of bird song or of water flowing heighten a person’s experience of a landscape. But by the same token, it is not difficult to imagine that the effect of an optical split of the Elbe Valley would be exacerbated by the noise of a four-lane bridge. Based on these considerations, from the point of view of this report, the only conclusion which can be made is that the visual impact of the projected Waldschlösschen Bridge would be severe. In terms of the limited scope of the question under investigation, the conclusion even has to be drawn that building the bridge in this place would irreversibly damage the unique qualities of the Elbe Valley. Until now, the planning process has been marked by a series of unfortunate circumstances. The fact that the projected building date of the Waldschlösschen Bridge and the application procedure for the <strong>Dresden</strong> Elbe Valley’s inclusion in the World Heritage Site list have overlapped in time has created a situation where productive dialogue towards an acceptable solution has become difficult. The citizens’ decision to approve the project, taken together with the legal situation following the court decision, have resulted in additional circumstances which constrain the discussion of alternatives to the “Verkehrszug Waldschlösschenbrücke”, particularly since the financial and legal impli- cations of the advertised project are considerable. However, these are primarily political factors, and as such must not be included in the assessor‘s report.
Nor may the assessors outline any alternatives, much less recommend them, without prior investigation. For that reason, the assessors consider it imperative that productive use is made of the “pause for thought” called for until autumn 2006 by ICOMOS. All parties to the proceedings should engage in close dialogue during these months and thoroughly explore the available options. 113
