Elbe meadows
Open floodplain meadows line both banks for kilometres. On the print they give the river an unusually wide, calm frame, with the city held back from the water.

The map
About this Dresden map poster
Dresden is organised around the Elbe. The river curves through the city in a wide arc, and unlike most European capitals, its banks are not lined with quays. They are mostly open meadows, broad green strips that flood in high water and keep buildings well back from the river. The Altstadt lies on the south bank, the Neustadt on the north, and a series of bridges links them.
The baroque city that made Dresden famous was largely destroyed in February 1945, and much of it has since been rebuilt. The Frauenkirche was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005. The Zwinger, the Semperoper and the Brühl Terrace line the south bank, and the Augustus Bridge leads across to the Neustadt. Upstream, the Blue Wonder bridge crosses the river at Blasewitz.
A Dresden map poster makes the river and its meadows the main subject. The Elbe's calm curve runs across the frame with open green on either side, the dense old town meets it on one bank, and the Neustadt's grid, laid out after an earlier fire, faces it on the other. The Großer Garten is a large rectangular park to the southeast.

Altstadt and Neustadt
The rebuilt baroque core on the south bank faces the Neustadt across the river. The bridges between them form the main crossings at the centre of the poster.
Großer Garten
A large baroque park with straight avenues set in a near-perfect rectangle southeast of the centre. It is a clean geometric shape among the surrounding streets.

Why Dresden
A map that means something
Dresden is a city people fall for, whether they studied at the university, visited the old town or live in one of its villa districts along the river. The Elbe's curve alone makes a beautiful, recognisable wall piece.
Add a title, a subtitle with a date or district, and a coordinates line. Choose from five styles: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper and Sand both suit the city's sandstone character.
