Bärenzwinger

Bear pit:

Located in the historic vaults, the Bärenzwinger student club combines a student pub with a cultural venue.
In the mid-1960s, architecture students from the Dresden University of Technology began searching for premises for a meeting place and found what they were looking for in the area of ​​the old fortress. With the support of the student body, the vaults were cleared of rubble and renovated in thousands of hours of voluntary, unpaid work. On June 15, 1968, the club opened under the name Studentenclub Bärenzwinger (Student Club Bear Pit) in the Kleinen Tonne (Little Barrel) and the inner courtyard.
For insiders: The talk show "Treff mit OF" with entertainer OF Weidling was recorded for East German television.

Casemates:

The casemates in Dresden are the impressive underground vaults of the former Dresden Fortress, now open to visitors as part of the "Fortress Dresden" museum, also known as "Fortress Xperience." Located beneath the Brühl Terrace in the heart of the Old Town, their thick walls make them one of the few remaining sections of the city's fortifications. Built in the 16th century, the casemates originally served to defend the city: in times of war, they provided secure quarters for soldiers, storage for weapons and gunpowder, and a means of repelling attacks. 

Cannon Courtyard:

With its historic ambiance and exclusive location, the Kanonenhof in the heart of Dresden's historic old town tells a story from the city's past. Bright sandstone walls, underground passages, and rustic architecture transport every guest to the splendor of the Baroque era, when Augustus the Strong celebrated lavish festivities. Nestled within the picturesque backdrop of Dresden's old town and surrounded by ancient walls, this venue, with its superb acoustics, is the perfect place to enjoy a truly memorable concert evening.
