| Taschenbergpalais, was built in 1705-08 by Daniel Pöppelmann and Johann Friedrich Karcher as residence for the Duchess of Cosel and was extended in 1756-65 by Julius Heinrich Schwarz and Christian Friedrich Exner by more wings and the Court yard. In the 19th Century there were more changes on the building, for examlple the hipped roof was replaced by a flat roof.
After the destruction in 1945 only a few walls were left of the once glorious building..
Rebuilt in 1993-95 as the luxury hotel Kempinski Hotel Taschenbergpalais it got its original hipped roof back and the westwing was enlarged.
There are restaurants and bars in the partially preserved vaults, such as "Paulaner" and "Sophienkeller" and some Cafés.

| Technical University,
shortly called TU goes back to 1828 when it was founded by Gotthilf Lohrmann on the Brühlschen Terrasse and called Technische Bildungsanstalt.
It developped into a Politechnicum and in 1890 the Technical acadamy called Technische Hochschule (TH), which tranformed in 1961 to the Technical University called Technische Universität. The old main buildings were destroyed in 1945 near the Friedrich-List-place and on its place the Academy of traffic (systems) was built in 1954/60 die Hochschule für Verkehrswesen, which transformed into the Academy for Sience and Technic (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft). The damage between George-Bähr-Straße and Mommsentraße was cleared very quickly after the war and the ground of the University were extended down the Nöthnitzer Straße and along the Zellescher Weg. Most significant buildings are the Zeunerbau (1900-05 by Karl Weißbach) , the Beyer-Bau (1910-13), the Fritz-Foerster-Bau (1917-26, both by Martin Dülfer), the Georg-Schumann-Bau (former Courthouse), 1902-07, re-constructed in 1957-61), the Barkhausen-Bau (1951-54 by Karl-Wilhelm Ochs), the Willersbau (with the astronomical clock), the Neue Mensa (1974-78 by Ulf Zimmermann) and the "Neue Hörsaalgebäude" (lecture hall, approx. 1997).
There are 32.170 students matriculated at the Technical University, 8100 of them are new starters of the Winter Semester 2003/2004.
The Universitätsklinikum and other building complex particularly in the Johannstadt belong to the TU, too.
An ongoing problem is the B170, the mainroad to Prag and a part of the access to the motorway A17. Between the "Neue Mensa" and the "Neuer Hoersaal" a bridge for pedestrians might be builty.

The road was originally created in 1820 (starting at the bridge "Augustusbruecke) as Cul de sac and from on it was called 1830 Appareille. In 1852 it was lenghtened towardsthe brigde "Carolabrücke" and the connecting lane was called "An der Elbe". From 1878 on the river bank was called the same and another year later the whole area was called "An der Elbe". There was a short spell of re-naming during the war but it carries this name ever since.

| Theaterplatz, on of the most beautiful places in Europe. The area around todays square was originally called Italien Village, "Italienisches Dörfchen", because the italien artists and builders which helped to built the cathedral Hofkirche lived here. After the housed were knoocked down and the Semperoper was built the place was named Theaterplazt since 1840. The name Italien Village remained for the area around the restaurant "Helbig´schen Restaurants" on the river Elbe, which was replaced in 1911-13 with the Restaurant "Italienisches Dörfchen". The surrounding buildings of the Gemäldegalerie, the Altstädter Wache and the Castle Stadtschloss gives the whole place its specila and impressive flair.

It is one of the few remaining ruins of the Second World War, some others were taken down in the time of Walter Ulbricht.

Parts of the cellar and the side buildings are being used for services and other activities of the congregation. |
