The Jewish History and Life in Dresden
History is always complex and ambivalent. And so is the history of Dresden. I am happy to be raised in an open minded family by parents who lived through the war and were living the idea of reconciliation. They made me study German and Jewish history. I have studied the Jewish history of Dresden, I have given many tours on this topic, I have met many former Dresden Jewish inhabitants and their families.Not so many original sites are left but nevertheless the history is still present.

Dresden and WW II - the history of the fall and rise of Dresden with an eye witness
This tour is a very personal tour. I was born in the late 50ies and my family was very much affected by the war. The war broke out from Germany and returned to the German soil and destroyed Dresden, too. This tour is focusing on the air raid of Dresden, its background and its scars. And - you will meet an eye witness. A lady- more than 80 years old- has lived here all her life and even see the city rising after the war like phoenix bird from the ashes. There are not so many people any longer who can share this story with us. And this story should never be forgotten.

The village of Art- Loschwitz or: where I was a little girl
Only a few minutes upstream the river Elbe there is a little village of Loschwitz. What a romantic spot where for more than 150 years artists, painters and musicians have been living.
I am so thankful with my parents that they decided to live out here! So, this is the place where I was raised, where I climbed the cherry trees on the plantages, where we went bob sleighing down the windy narrow roads and where I know every cobble stone.
For more than 150 years this has been the perfect place to live and work for musicians and composers. Do not miss visiting the parish church of Loschwitz or a wine tasting bodega. Or just enjoy cake and coffee under a plum tree!
You might get there by bike or public transport or just book the tour with our Mercedes van!I take care of you and show round! If possible I even take you to a workshop of an artist.
