Allow New Zealand anthropologist Dr Fraser Macddonald to take you on a fascinating tour into the architectural and social history of the GDR in Dresden. With special attention paid to the ideological and cultural significance of the buildings, Dr Macdonald will take travellers around the focal points of the GDR's urban planning developments in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. We begin at the southern end of Prager Strasse and take in many crucial architectural features before moving on to the famous Kulturpalast, where travellers will have the opportunity to look inside. We then move to the old town and discuss which buildings the GDR decided to restore after the war, which they chose to demolish, and which they simply ignored. We arrive finally on Neustadt Markt, the crown jewel in GDR urban planning in Dresden and discuss its historical and contested ongoing significance.
