Prices are maybe 5% higher than in other supermarkets, but that is not really bad, when you considder that travellers pay a lot more at the trainstations.
The shop is open :
Monday - Friday : 06.00a.m. - 09.00p.m.
Saturday: 08.00a.m. - 08.00p.m.
Sunday: 09.00a.m. - 08.00p.m.
You may get everything there like in any supermarket AND they also have a small bakery there with fresh cakes and rolls and they serve coffee !
In the same building you have a Kebap-stand, a beergarden around the corner and a stand with roasted chicken to take away.
THIS is certainly a perfect place for tourists on a budget !!
Half a freshly roasted chicken is just 2 €uros to take away, half a litre of Buttermilk is about 1 €uro Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: D-0169 Dresden - PostplatzDirections: Postplatz is opposite of the golden crown of Zwinger, in a walking-distance of 200 meters !

This is a large indoor Market Hall, very traditional and obviously very popular with the people of Dresden. There are several levels and coming in on the ground floor you can go up or down. The upper floors are built in gallery style forming balconies, so that at all times you can look down on the activities below. The hall was beautifully decorated for Christmas and even had a little mini ferris wheel for small children. I came across this market by accident when I was wandering round the Neustadt and was really glad . It was so different from the souvenir-filled shops in the city centre and an absolute pleasure to browse through and people watch.
The Markt Halle provided everything you could possibly need and was a little like a department store laid out in market form. Upstairs had a large clothes shop, some light furnishings plus lots and lots of displays of crafts and decorative items. Downstairs was mostly food - very artisitically displayed -with more gift and toy stalls. There were stalls selling more mundane, everyday necessities of life but because it was in the run up to Christmas, gift items were taking centre stage. If you didn't have luggage restrictions you could buy some beautiful wood and glass items here.
Things were extremely reasonably priced in the Markt Halle because it obvoiously caters for local people and not for tourists. Theme: OtherAddress: Ritter Strasse, NeustadtDirections: Off Hauptstrasse on the other side of the street to the Church of The EpiphanyWebsite: www.Dresden.de

Striezelmarkt is the traditional name for the Christmasmarket of Dresden and works of art, made in Erzgebirge might be a perfect souvenir to take home from Dresden.
On my picture you may see a typical kind of "Weihnachtspyramide" that will mostly follow a very simple technique :
Lots of candles that are lighted around the pyramid will have a lot of hot air streaming up to the wind-wheel on top and this windwheel will turn around the small figures in circles around the axle in the centre of the X-mas-pyramid.
b.t.w. the pyramid shown on my picture is with a height of about 7 meters the biggest one I have ever seen and it is shown inside the new townhall of Dresden.
It is lighted by electricity and also the figures are moved by electricity - take a look at my extra pics for the fine details !
Such pyramids in much smaller size make a perfect souvenir from Saxony and are equally liked by children and elderly people, who might even still remember to have seen such people, working-tools and costumes in their own childhood...
The price will depend on size and quality Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Striezelmarkt is in the centre of Dresden, next to Kreuzkirche.

Dresden's Christmas market is less touristy than many. Of course, there is much of the junk you find in such markets but you'll also find nice crafts from the area. In fact the Saxony is noted for its wooden figurines that are used throughout Germany at Christmas.
Along with the food treats and glühwein (hot spiced wine), local crafts are the thing to buy when at the markets. Favorites include pyramids and rauchermen. The latter are small figures that "smoke" when an incense is lit inside them. Christmas stars are beautiful and easy to transport. D was happy to bring one home to the states! :) Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: In the main shopping square of downtown Dresden.

 Dresden in 1945 by sourbugger
It was thus equilvalent to the dropping of a Nuclear bomb.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of that particular raid, the destruction of the once beautiful city is vividly recalled in before-and-after collections of postcards sold in many place around the city.
I use a pack to help schoolchildren consider the morality of war.
It is also perhaps useful to think about these words of Winston Churchill, who in the final analysis was responsible for the operation to obliterate the city :
It is odious to us
that governments should seek to maintain their rule
otherwise than by free unfettered elections
by the mass of the people.
Governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed,
says the Constitution of the United States.
This must not evaporate in swindles and lies propped up by servitude and murder. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Apart from postcards and some very tasty souvenirs of Dresden, this shop specializes in the traditional wood carvings. From tiny penguins to a wonderful,huge Christmas pyramid - we saw wood craft in all shapes and sizes. You won't find mass production items there, so don't expect very low prices. I bought one of the penguins for about 10 Euro, a penguin father with a penguin baby, really beautifully carved.
From about 2 Euro for the smallest items to several hundred Euro for the large Christmas pyramids. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Friedrich Wieck Strasse 3Directions: In the suburb of Loschwitz, close to the bridge "Blaues Wunder".

Buy whatever you want but remember if you dont have a car nearby and you get something heavy like this huge warddrobe my friend wanted to buy you have to figure out how to get it back to where you live. Such stuff dont fit very well on the tram either :-)
Well dont pay more than you have to for anything, check it over carefully to see if its worth to pay what they ask. Dont be afraid to barter or bargain whatever its called, go for a lower price if you can. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Its just beneath this bridge in the center of Dresden. I dont know the name of it but its near the King Augustus castle and cathedral on the Elbe River.

This famous shopping street connects Wiener Platz with Waisenhausstrasse and has come into being first in 1851. After destruction by Allied bombing in 1945 the street was rebuilt in socialistic archtectural style. Here you find residential blocks, numerous shops and malls, cinemas, offices, hotels and restaurants.
To make this street more attractive a giant reconstruction program was made. Read more about it here Leave a Comment
