Lugen Museum
The Museum of Lies has been called a refuge for the Truth-- it is an old castle that has been converted by Reinhart Zapka into a gallery of crazy artistic creations. The museum is full of the oddest combinations of antique East German junk that has metamophized into the strangest poetic statements. Here is my wandering adventure through this dream like place.

Rundgang durchs Lügenmuseum des Objektkünstlers Reinhard Zabka
Die Werksammlung des Lügenmuseum wird vom Autor und Objektkünstler Reinhard Zabka kuratiert. Die Objekte zeitgenössischer bildender Kunst zeigt überwiegend expressionistische Installationen. Die Themen variieren zwischen dadaistischen Arrangements skurriler Küchen- und Handwerksgegenstände des beginnenden 20. Jh., Zitaten aus thailändischer Alltagskultur (vor allem aus Bali), politischer Reflexion der DDR-Vergangenheit und religionskritischen Persiflagen der christlichen Heiligenverehrung. Dazwischen finden sich einzelne Werke moderner Videokunst, Anleitungen zum wahren Lügen oder auch das Ohr des Vincent van Gogh in einer Vitrine. Auf Theodor Fontane als vorgeblich einzigen bedeutenden Künstler, der je die Prignitz durchwanderte und Willy Brandt, als Sinnstifter des Grundlagenvertrages geht das Museum mit eigenen Themenräumen ein. Zahlreiche Installationszitate erschließen sich dem Besucher allerdings entweder nur mit ostdeutscher Sozialisation oder mit politischem Interesse.

(Coming Spring 2020)
Dresden lies on a bend in the river Elbe, just north of the sandstone mountains of Saxon Switzerland. The city was known as the ‘Jewel Box’ because of its baroque and rococo city centre. It was heavily bombed towards the end of WW2 but has been beautifully rebuilt. While the centre is relatively compact – you can get around it on foot - there are many attractions that require the use of the extensive public transport options available: the tram system, S-Bahn, local railways and river shipping. To these must be added the wonderful Dresden overhead railway and funicular; both located near the ‘Blaues Wunder’ bridge over the Elbe. There is also the Children’s Railway by the Zoo and two local heritage railways: the Weißeritztalbahn to the south and the Lößnitzgrundbahn to the north. A third steam railway lies further to the east – the Zittau-Oybin-Jonsdorfer Eisenbahn or in short ZOJE. In the vernacular the abbreviation means “Train without any hurry.”!
We take you round the sights -getting used to the trains and trams as we go, then make our day out to lovely Meißen. Out by boat, a paddle steamer, and back by train. Other visits: Schloß Pillnitz, Dresden Transport museum, Hbf, Neustadt and the VW factory. We end the film with a visit to Leipzig by REX that takes 90 mins from Dresden Hbf. Narrated filmed in HD.

Die Lüge im Dienste der Wahrheit...

Dresden
Dresden (German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdən]; Upper Sorbian: Drježdźany) is the capital city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border. The Dresden conurbation is part of the Saxon Triangle metropolitan area with 2.4 million inhabitants.
Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city center. The controversial British and American bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city center. The bombing gutted the city, as it did for other major German cities. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche as well as the suburbs.

SUMMARY
=======
Dresden (German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdn̩] (listen); Upper and Lower Sorbian: Drježdźany; Czech: Drážďany; Polish: Drezno) is the capital city and, after Leipzig, the second-largest city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the border with the Czech Republic.
Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor, and was once by personal union the family seat of Polish monarchs. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre. The controversial American and British bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000 people, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city centre. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Zwinger and the famous Semper Oper.
Since German reunification in 1990 Dresden is again a cultural, educational and political centre of Germany and Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is one of the 10 largest universities in Germany and part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative. The economy of Dresden and its agglomeration is one of the most dynamic in Germany and ranks first in Saxony. It is dominated by high-tech branches, often called “Silicon Saxony”. The city is also one of the most visited in Germany with 4.3 million overnight stays per year. The royal buildings are among the most impressive buildings in Europe. Main sights are also the nearby National Park of Saxon Switzerland, the Ore Mountains and the countryside around Elbe Valley and Moritzburg Castle. The most prominent building in the city of Dresden is the Frauenkirche. Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, before being rebuilt between 1994 and 2005.
According to the Hamburgische Weltwirtschaftsinstitut (HWWI) and Berenberg Bank in 2017, Dresden has the fourth best prospects for the future of all cities in Germany.
Schloss Moritzburg Überblick / Moritzburg castle overview/ Замок Морицбург обзор
Moritzburg Castle (German: Schloss Moritzburg) or Moritzburg Palace is a Baroque palace in Moritzburg, in the German state of Saxony, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northwest of the Saxon capital, Dresden. The castle has four round towers and lies on a symmetrical artificial island. It is named after Duke Moritz of Saxony, who had a hunting lodge built there between 1542 and 1546. The surrounding woodlands and lakes have been a favorite hunting area of the electors and kings of Saxony.
The original castle, built from 1542–1546, was a hunting lodge for Moritz of Saxony, then Duke of Saxony. Elector John George II of Saxony had the lodge extended; the chapel was added between 1661 and 1671. Designed by his architect, Wolf Caspar von Klengel, the chapel is an example of early Baroque architecture.
The chapel was consecrated in a Catholic rite in 1697, after the grandson of John George II, Elector Augustus II the Strong, converted to Catholicism in order to secure his election as King of Poland. Between 1723 and 1733, Augustus had the castle remodelled as a country seat by architects Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and Zacharias Longuelune, adding a formal park, several ponds and a game preserve.
The surroundings of the castle were further developed by Elector Frederick Augustus III of Saxony, a greatgrandson of Augustus II the Strong, at the end of the 18th century. The Little Pheasant Castle (Fasanenschlösschen) was built between 1770 and 1776. The grounds were extended to include a building for the storage of bird nets, the large Well of Venus, living quarters for Count Camillo Marcolini and a maritime setting on the Great Lake complete with a miniature harbour with jetty and lighthouse.
Prince Ernst Heinrich of Saxony, who lived in the castle between 1933 and 1945, was the last resident of the House of Wettin. He was dispossessed in 1945 by the postwar Soviet administration.
The interior of the castle is furnished with examples of opulent baroque decor from the time of Augustus the Strong. The walls are covered in 17th century gold-gilded leather. Many rooms' furnishings are dedicated to courtly hunting.
The collection of red deer antlers is one of the most important of its kind. The castle's largest collection of antlers is shown in the Speisesaal (dining room). Most of its 71 trophies are between 270 and 400 years old; they were purchased or acquired as presents. Among them is the heaviest red deer antler in the world, weighing 19.8 kilograms (44 lb) and spanning almost 2 metres (6.6 ft). In the Monströsensaal (monstrosity room), there are 39 contorted antlers. One specimen, a 66-point red deer antler is from an animal killed by Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg in 1696.
In 1723, Augustus the Strong acquired a four-poster bed for his Japanese palace. It had approximately a million peacock, pheasant, guinea hen and duck feathers woven into the canvas. Rather than gluing or tying the feathers onto the canvas, they were woven in as weft. Upon acquisition, Augustus had the curtains removed and turned into wall hangings, inspiring the room's name, Federzimmer, or feather room. This ensemble was moved to Schloss Moritzburg in 1830. Following an extensive 19-year restoration, the bed and wall hangings have been on view again since 2003.
Examples of Chinese, Japanese and Meissen porcelain are shown in the historical Porzellanquartier (porcelain quarter). This exhibition displays porcelain depicting hunting, exotic and mythological motifs as well as animal figurines that are relating to Moritzburg’s original determination as a hunting lodge.
The apartments contain examples of opulence in the lacquered and ornate furniture, such as the Augsburg-made silver furniture styled after Louis XIV's silver furniture at Versailles. There are also engraved and inlaid weapons for hunting. The Billiardsaal (billiards hall), named after a former billiard table in it, contains monumental paintings on leather by Louis de Silvestre. Eleven rooms are decorated with painted leather wallpaper from the 17th century.
A collection of royal carriages is shown in the entrance hall.
