Welcome to our apartments!We are very happy to have you on our premises and hope you can exploit your time here in the most fruitful and positive way. To make this stay as pleasant as possibly imaginable, please note the following small advises and pleads from our side.

1. KEEP YOUR KEY WITH YOU ALL THE TIME! Doors around here close easily and then you won't be able to re-enter.

2. For your departure:

10 am - 6 pm (on week-days):11 am - 6 pm (weekend):

Please leave the apartment-key at the visitor-center.

If you leave after 6 pm, please lock the main door. Go outside towards the exit by the street and put it in the white mailbox with the blue HELLERAU-sticker.

3. We carefully prepare your rooms for your arrival, please take care of them while you are here .

4. If you like smoking, please do so outside - inside fire detectors will spoil the fun.

5. Please always lock the main door of the building from 7 pm onwards, since you never know who would like to come and visit.

6. Be careful not to loose your key and the beep-thingy. Replacing the lock is quite expensive.

7. Fresh air is a very good thing, but please close the windows when you are not in the apartment for safety reasons.

8. We love to save energy, this is why we would ask you to make sure to turn off all electronic devices, heating and lights whenever not needed.

9. Candle-light can be very romantic, but please don't let the romance be unattended.

10. We change towels and bed linen on a regular basis, if you need an extra change in-between, please let us know.

If you want to cook yourself:

There is a LIDL just one tram-stop away (tram no. 8, direction: Hellerau / stop: Brunnenweg). Walking takes about 10 minutes. It provides you with all basic groceries from Monday to Saturday from 7 am - 9 pm. For better quality supermarkets you'd have to take the tram no. 8 (direction: Südvorstadt) towards the city center. For more shopping options: check page 11.

If you like eating out:

Restaurants are also quite rare in these surroundings, but take the tram to the city and you'll find whatever your heart desires:

Dresden Neustadt is the vibrant and hip part of town with many restaurants, take-away-places, bars and clubs. To get there, just take tram no. 8 (direction Südvorstadt) and get off at stop Louisenstraße. Then walk into Louisenstraße and explore.

Dresden Altstadt is the historic part of town, there are many things to see such as galleries, museums and old historic buildings. Take tram no. 8 (direction Südvorstadt) and get off at stop Theaterplatz. You will find yourself in front of the Semper Opera and all major sights are in its immediate vicinity.

For more detailed options: check pages 12-16

If you have any questions, problems or things you like to share with us, just let us know!

We wish you a pleasant stay!

In Gardencity Hellerau

Hellerau was founded in 1909 as the first gardencity of Germany by the furniture manufactorer Karl Schmidt. As a passionate follower of the contemporary “back to nature”-Lebensreform idea, he created the village as living space for his workers. Therefore Hellerau was supposed to live up to all the specific needs of its inhabitants. Thus the Festspielhaus was built in 1911 including the pioneering visions of Adolphe Appia and Emile Jaques-Dalcroze.

In Dresden-Neustadt

This is the trendy and vibrant quarter of Dresden with countless bars, unique stores and many opportunities for dancing. You will hardly find a place that transports more of the atmosphere of Old Dresden. This quarter is located between Bautzner Straße and Priessnitzstraße, Bischofsweg and Königsbrücker Straße, and is brought alive by the contrast between buildings that have already been carefully restored and old, run-down houses, from fancy cocktail bars and traditional taverns, from trendy pubs and specialty restaurants around Alaunstraße and Louisenstraße. Whether Spanish, French, Turkish or Italian, the cuisine is international, and there is no official closing hour.

Exclusive dinner as an event. Watch the cook while creating your meal – reservation recommended.

Both in the selection and in the preparation of meals there are aspects reminiscent of the former G.D.R.: down-to earth food, prepared from fresh and organic local ingredients.

In Dresden's historic centreFor centuries, Dresden was the residence of the Wettin royal family. Today, Dresden is one of the most beautiful Baroque cities in Europe and a bustling metropolis at the same time. It has been developing into a modern city, the attraction of which is based in equal measure on its many artistic and cultural treasures as well as on its progressive and broad-based scientific and industrial prowess. The best way of seeing the historic city centre is on foot beginning with its main attractions: Semper Opera, the Zwinger, Frauenkirche, Royal Palace and Brühl’s Terrace. Just get inspired by the beauty of Saxony’s capital!
