Meißen inspires with new Selfie Point – where art meets memories!
Something is happening in Meißen! The city's first selfie point will open next Thursday and the anticipation among locals and tourists is great. The new attraction is located in the middle of the market and consists of colorful lettering that reflects the creative range of the Meissen art scene. The official presentation will be made by Mayor Olaf Raschke and city marketing boss Christian Friedel, and the artists involved will also be present at the opening. The first visitors are allowed to take snapshots of the new landmark in advance, which can be shared on social media using the hashtag #meissen, such as Sächsische.de reported.
The Selfie Point is already a topic of conversation: the reactions to the colorful letters that were presented at the Meißner Summer Festival in the Triebischtal tram station in June were mixed. But the city administration is convinced that this new hotspot will become a popular souvenir photo attraction that can attract large numbers of visitors, as Die Sachsen notes.
Tasty news from the region
In addition, the Thiele butcher shop from Robschütz recently received a special award. In a grilled meat vote, the traditional company, which has been run by the fourth generation since 1898, came in fourth place. Of the approximately 300 entries that Sächsische.de readers submitted for the vote, a total of 26 butcher shops from the Meißen district were suggested. The butcher shop is proud of this feedback and will be celebrated as a readers' favorite even more often in the coming weeks, as reported.
A quick look beyond the city limits shows that the topic of selfie points is also gaining momentum elsewhere. In Hilders, for example, the Milseburg Cycle Path working group is planning to give various shelters along the cycle path a new look. The Künzell artist Ingmar Süß, who has already contributed to the creation of selfie points in Fulda, will design these new works of art. These projects are not only intended to visually enhance the huts, but also to put the cyclists in the picture so that they become part of the works of art. The pictures show, among other things, the historic Hilders train station building, which creates 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 treasure trove of news and attractions to discover for the region!
