Dresden has been considered as the cultural, political, and economic center in the Eastern part of Germany since the German reunification in 1990. It is the capital city Saxony, which is a part of the German Federal Free State. It has survived the brutal bombing of the city in the Second World War. Although the main features of the city have been altered, the city was able to retain its natural beauty. It is bordered in the South by the steep slopes of the Ore Mountains, and the breathtaking reaches of the Lusatian in the North. Dresden lies beautifully on both banks of the Elbe River.

Despite the luscious scenery that engulfs Dresden, it is considered a spacious city where many parts still maintain the village atmosphere, and a conservative rural area. About 51 % of the inhabitants of Dresden are female, and approximately 4 % are foreigners. Dresden is considered as one of the most populated cities in Eastern Germany.
