Budapester Straße,  The street, so named after its completion in 1969, was created as a new 4-lane traffic route from Dippoldiswalder Platz to Nossener Brücke. In the middle part, over the railway facilities in front of the Hauptbahnhof, it is the only elevated street in Dresden - alongside parts of the Nossener Brücke (Nossen Bridge).

The Budapester Strasse runs within the 26er-Ring approximately on the former Kleine Plauenschen Gasse, outside she took over the northern part of Chemnitzer Strasse.

Bunte Republik Neustadt, Multicolored Republic of the New Town,  one of the annual festivals taking place. he BRN has, due to its roots, an alternative Flair, is however also increasingly frequented by so called Stinos (fam. for "stink-normal" citizens). Unfortunately there are regularly excesses in the night hours through so called riot tourist. In 2002 no centralised organizer could be found, therefore the BRN consisted of a multiplicity of single meetings.
Emphasis forms the road cross of Alaunstraße and Louisenstraße, the places Alaunplatz and Martin-Luther-Platz as well as the road Böhmische Straße.

The focal points are the crossroads of Alaun- and Louisenstrasse, the Alaun- and the Martin-Luther-Platz as well as the Bohemian Street.

In 2005, the festival remained “sunny, quiet and relaxed” during the official program, with around 130,000 coming to the festival.
There were still riots on Sunday night,
“but most of the visitors stayed away completely unmoved.
The mob simply lacked an audience for hours. In the years that followed, things remained “relatively” quiet.

The BRN had to be canceled from 2020 to 2021 due to the Corona restrictions. The city administration announces that there will be no Bunte Republik Neustadt (BRN) in 2023 either. No overall organizer has been found, so there is no responsibility for general order and safety, especially for people's lives and health.

Bürgerwiese (citizen's meadow),  park plant, which connects the historical old part of town (Altstadt), outgoing from the place Georgplatz with the park Großer Garten. Parts established already in 1469. Between 1843 and 1850, the gardener Carl Adolf Terscheck created on the inside Bürgerwiese called an artistic terrain park with a rich sculptural decoration. The area was transformed 1858/63 by Peter Joseph Lenné while expanding eastward.

In the park are among other things the

  • Mozart monument (1907 by Hermann Hosaeus), the
  • Nymphenbrunnen (1908 by Bruno Fischer) and the
  • plastics of "two mothers" (1899/1902 by Heinrich Epler),

A part of the plant is added to the Großen Garten due to the spatially separating and very busy Lennéstraße. At the stop there is a memorial stone.
