Dresden Information Servers

    Dresden, the capital of the "Freistaat Sachsen", one of the states of the Federal Republic of Germany, is one of the most beautiful cities of Germany. Dresden has been destroyed almost completely at the end of World War II. Extensive rebuilding projects are still going on to recover the beauty of the "old times" when Dresden was built under the rule of the Kings of Saxony.

    Dresden currently offers four information servers. Some are still in a preliminary stage of development.

    • City of Dresden
    • Online Information System of Dresden
    • Dresden Online
    • The City Information System for Dresden
    There is also a WWW-server of the Free State of Saxony.
