Dresden was a major cultural center of the Electorate of Saxony; heavy bombing in 1945 destroyed much of the historic center, which has been extensively reconstructed since the 1990s.
Conservation
The Elbe valley has active river restoration projects and responsible tourism initiatives; stay on designated paths and avoid feeding wildlife to limit disturbance.
