KÖRPERWELTEN Dresden

KÖRPERWELTEN Dresden was the acclaimed anatomical exhibition by plastinator Dr. Gunther von Hagens and curator Dr. Angelina Whalley, staged at the Zeitenströmung creative campus in Dresden-Neustadt. The world's most visited anatomy show came to the Saxon capital twice — first in 2014 with "Eine Herzenssache" (A Matter of the Heart), drawing over 200,000 visitors, and again in 2022 with the Germany premiere of "Am Puls der Zeit" (At the Pulse of the Times). Both editions used the vast industrial halls of the former turbine factory complex at Königsbrücker Straße 96 to display real plastinated human bodies revealing the beauty and fragility of human anatomy. The permanent listing on Google Maps shows CLOSED status because both runs were time-limited exhibitions rather than a fixed museum. The Zeitenströmung venue itself remains active, hosting immersive art shows, concerts, and major cultural events throughout the year. Körperwelten continues its touring circuit across German-speaking Europe.

Rhododendron Park

Tucked into the Elbe hillside above the village of Wachwitz, Rhododendron Park Dresden-Wachwitz is a 10,000-square-meter garden holding around 1,000 rhododendron plants in more than 200 varieties across 60 species. Created in the early 1970s and opened to the public free of charge, it is considered one of Europe's finest collections of its kind—yet it remains a quiet, undiscovered haven compared to the famous gardens at nearby Pillnitz. In late spring the hillside erupts into waves of white, pink, violet and red as azaleas and rhododendrons bloom in sequence. Large lawns and mature trees frame the flower beds, and benches throughout invite slow wandering. The park sits on the lower terrace of what was once a royal vineyard, right beside the villa of the last Saxon king—adding a layer of history to the botanical spectacle.
