With the City Guard through Old Dresden - A Fearless Journey into History

Hear ye, hear ye!

The City Guard's call echoes through the city: clatter of hooves, fanfare - history awakens.

Bygone eras call today, are you explorers? We are delighted!

Join the valiant City Guard on an entertaining tour between the Frauenkirche, the Procession of Princes, and the Dresden Zwinger. In the historic Old Town, you will discover traces of long-gone times and learn about the original significance of the historic buildings. Our journey through time leads us through glorious periods of magnificent court life to the gunpowder smoke of Dresden's greatest trials.

On the Bastion, the old city fortifications, you will learn about the harsh fate of the Landsknechts, from dice games to sieges. With a twinkle in his eye and firsthand accounts, your City Guard will tell you about the Prussian saber-rattling, the theft of Dresden's jewels, and extraordinary criminal cases.

After a successful patrol, you'll be inducted into the city guard. And as a reward, you'll receive a well-deserved "liquid bread": a freshly tapped and delicious beer specialty from our university brewery, Lohrmanns Brew.
