IMG_7999 Zwinger Palace by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann & Balthasar Permoser
Wall Pavilion (1716-1719, interiors 1719-1728) with its Curved Galleries (1710-1712) on the grounds of the Zwinger Palace (Dresden, 12 May 1670 – Warsaw, 1 February 1733), who became the King of Poland, Elector of Saxony and Grand Duke of Lithuania.
Baroque architecture by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann (DEU, Herford, 3 May 1662 - Dresden, 17 January 1736) &
sculptor Balthasar Permoser (DEU, Kammer bei Traunstein, 13 August 1651 - Dresden, 20 February 1732)
The whole old city center of Dresden was destroyed during an allied WWII two-day bombing campaign mid-February 1945 (on Valentine's day!) and the Zwinger was the first historically important building that was subsequently rebuilt by the East-Germans and Russians from 1945 till 1963, alongside the Katholische Hofkirche.
