Cultural heritage in the residential palace

The Residenzschloss in Dresden, an architectural jewel, has a long history. Originally built around 1200 as a Romanesque keep, it was redesigned several times over the centuries. The significant Baroque redesign, for example, dates back to the early 18th century, when Augustus II the Strong, a passionate collector, completed his great work. In addition to the Green Vault, the castle houses other museums, including the Numismatic cabinet, the collection of prints, drawings and photographs as well as the Dresden Armory, which presents a variety of historical objects.

The return of the Saxon dialect to the exhibited collection was largely motivated by public interest. Visitors to the treasury expressed the desire to experience the tours authentically with regional charm. “The seal of the region really comes through through the Saxon sounds,” says Pauls, who brings a part of history to life with every word spoken in the state rooms.
