Dresden, the captial of the state of Saxony, is situated in a valley on the River Elbe. For centuries, it was the residence of the Kings of Saxony and characterised by extraordinary cultural and artistic splendor. The tragic bombing of Dresden in World War II and 40 years of socialistic regime left their mark on the city. However, the reconstructed Frauenkirche Church, the Semper Opera House and the Royal Palace as well as many other historical monuments recreate the former beauty of the city. Don´t miss the “Grünes Gewölbe”. Since German re-unification, Dresden has developed as an important scientific, cultural, political, and economic center in the Eastern part of Germany. It is once again referred to as the “Florence on the river Elbe” and represents an attractive venue for the 3rd International Conference on cyclic GMP.
