In 1945, towards the end of the Second World War, the ancient City of Dresden was destroyed by massive bombardments and much of its rich architectural heritage appeared to have been obliterated forever. Over the last half-century, however, Dresden has been lovingly reconstructed with the active collaboration of its citizens. This process, now culminating in the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche (the Church of Our Lady) is documented in this unique book.

On 13 February 1945 Dresden, one of the most beautiful and historic cities of Europe, was destroyed by British and American air raids. This book is the first comprehensive history in the English language of this important cultural and historical centre. The book traces the city's evolution from 1206 to its great baroque period under Augustus the Strong, and from the bombing to the present day. The story of Dresden supplies the reader with unique insights into the collapse of the old monarchic order, the resistance of citizens to the Nazi regime, as well as the reaction of the Church and the rise and fall of the GDR. It describes the post-war replanning of the city, from its ideological reshaping under Communism to the liberation of ideas and energies after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Experts in their fields tell the story of Dresden's great musical, artistic, architectural, literary and theatrical traditions, which are further illuminated by a series of personal memoirs from eye-witness accounts in 1945 to contemporary reflections by Lord Menuhin and others. Heavily illustrated and complete with a foreword from the Duke of Kent, Dresden: A City Reborn is an important text for all students of German history and art history.

This book tells the stories of three villas in Dresden and the people who built, owned, and inhabited them in the years 1871 to 1939. The stories and fates of the villas and their occupants are inextricably intertwined. The buildings were owned by members of two consecutive generations of a wealthy German-Jewish family that was imbued with a sense of civic duty to the city it had proudly made its home: Dresden. The story of their lives, however, all but vanished from the city's collective consciousness after 1945. That began to change after 1990 and the reunification of Germany, when the fates of the houses and their erstwhile residents were rediscovered and researched. Intended for a general readership interested in learning more about these buildings and people, this book demonstrates how the two surviving villas are the authentic remnants of upper-middle-class Jewish life in Dresden. The stories in this book speak of architecture, culture and tradition, identity and religion, of family, a sense of belonging and loyalty to the fatherland, of the education and lifestyle of the upper-middle classes, justice and law, honour and duty. These stories also speak, however, of marginalization and terror, expulsion and escape, loss and memory. Furthermore, they are a testament to empathy and humour - qualities never lost by the various family members as they started afresh as committed global citizens after fleeing Nazi Germany.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Augustus II (known as "Augustus the Strong") had Dresden rebuilt into a complete work of Baroque art. Often referred to as "Florence on the Elbe," much of the city was destroyed during the Second World War. Since the reunification of Germany, the Dresden of the past has been gradually restored to its former glory. This book shows twenty-five sites in Dresden from three different historical perspectives, making it possible to see the city in times of both peace and destruction. This German-English edition includes both a map and a guided tour.

The collapse of the German Democratic Republic prompted the East Germans to confront their personal, cultural and international past. This study of the 'Wende' - the turn of events in 1989 - is based on ethnographic and anthropological research conducted in the early 1990s. Liz Ten Dyke has developed a finely nuanced portrait of the city and its residents as they were caught up in the economic, political and social turmoil that characterized the immediate post-socialist period. By weaving together scholarly research, oral history, and "ethnographic excursions" or narratives of salient experiences, this book makes an important contribution to the study of social aspects of the past. Moving beyond paradigms presently shaping the study of memory, it details the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in remembering, making manifest the link between such contradictions and larger symbolic and political-economic contexts. In this way, the author situates the study of memory in history and shows that it is the mutability of memory, in conjuction with the uncertainty of history, that render the past a dynamic and powerful force in human society.
