Taschenberg, former survey in the Inner Old Town, limited in the early Middle Ages by the then Kaitzbach estuary into the Elbe in the east (then Elbgasse, approximately Schloßstraße/ Georgentor), the Taschenberg pond in the south, the Weißeritzdelta in the west and the Elbe alluvium in the north with a height of approx. 111 m above sea level.

The Residenzschloss and the Taschenbergpalais are now located on the site, which is no longer recognizable as a mountain.

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 example the hipped roof was replaced by a flat roof.

Im Taschenbergpalais befand sich die Kapelle "Zum Heiligen Kreuz", Hauskapelle des Kronprinzenpaares und ein Meisterwerk des Dresdner Rokoko. 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. The central projection of the main building is worth seeing. There are several popular restaurants on the ground floor and in the partially preserved cellar vaults.

Technical Collection,  Extensive permanent exhibitions on the history of sewing, writing and computing technology as well as on physical experiments in mechanics, optics, electrical engineering and acoustics in the building of the former Ernemannwerke. From the architecturally interesting Ernemannturm you have an outstanding view of Striesen and the slopes of the Elbe.
Technical University , shortly called TU goes back to 1828 when it was founded by Gotthilf Lohrmann on the Brühlsche 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 Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (Academy for Sience and Technic).

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).

A building on Zelleschen Weg that opened in 2006 unites all 4 biology institutes, and in 2007 the Faculty of Computer Science moved into a new building on Nöthnitzer Strasse that is well worth seeing.

In addition to the contiguous campus include the University Hospital and other complexes primarily in Johannstadt and the Department of Forestry in Tharandt to the TU.

A current 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.

Trinitatiskirche,  built in 1891/94 by Karl Barth in the Neo-Renaissance style and in use of the Trinitatis-congregation which exists since 1888. It is one of the few remaining ruins of the Second World War, some others were taken down in the time of Walter Ulbricht. Since the reconstruction of the church "Frauenkirche" will be completed soon thoughts have been expressed to keep the remains of this church as they are in remembrance of the tragic events of the Dresden-bombing in February 1945. Parts of the cellar and the side buildings are being used for services and other activities of the congregation. The Trinitatis church community was created in 1887/88 due to the increased number of members by being separated from the Johanniskirchgemeinde.
In 2000 it merged with the Erlöser-Andreas-Gemeinde under the name Johanneskirchgemeinde Dresden-Johannstadt-Striesen.

The church ruins were converted into Dresden's youth church between 2020 and 2022. The winner of an architectural competition was a design by Code Unique Architekten Dresden. Since it has officially had this status.
