Meißen inspires with a new selfie point - where art meets memories!

In Meißen something is happening! The city's first selfie point will be opened next Thursday, and the anticipation among the locals and tourists is great. The new attraction is located in the middle of the market and consists of a colorful lettering that reflects the creative range of the Meißner art scene. The official performance takes place by Mayor Olaf Raschke and city marketing boss Christian Friedel, and the artists involved will also be present at the opening. In advance, the first visitors can record their snapshots on the new landmark, which can be shared with the hashtag #meissen on social media, such as sächsische.de reported.

The Selfie Point already ensures conversation: The reactions to the colorful letters, which were presented in June at the Meißner summer festival in the Triebischtal tram station, were mixed. But the city administration is convinced that this new hotspot will be a popular attraction for souvenir photos that can attract high number of visitors, as the Saxons determined.

tasty news from the region

In addition, the Thiele butcher from Robschütz recently received a special award. The traditional company, which has been operated in the fourth generation since 1898, landed in fourth place in a grill meat voting. A total of 26 butchers from the district of Meißen were proposed of the approximately 300 submissions that the readers of Sächsische.de had submitted for the voting. The butcher is proud of this feedback and will be celebrated more often as a reader favorite in the coming weeks.

A quick look beyond the city limits shows that the topic of selfie points also gets upside down elsewhere. In Hilders, for example, the Milseburgradwefweg working group plans to provide various protective huts along the bike path with a new look. The Künzeller artist Ingmar Süß, who has already contributed to the creation of Selfie Points in Fulda, will design these new works of art. These projects should not only optically upgrade the huts, but also put the cyclists in the picture so that they become part of the works of art. Among other things, the historic station building of Hilders is shown in the pictures, which ensures an interesting connection to the region, as Hilders informs.

Overall, it turns out that Meißen and its surroundings have a lot to offer, from impressive art projects to culinary highlights. The year 2025 could be a real treasure chest for news and attractions for the region that need to be discovered!
