About this audio guide
This guide to Brühl's Terrace in Dresden follows Heinrich von Brühl, the eighteenth-century Saxon chief minister whose private garden once stood on this old city rampart. It reaches into his famous wardrobe, his palace and library, and the autumn of seventeen sixty-three, when his king died and a new government turned its attention to his money. Best heard at the top of the terrace, looking along the promenade above the Elbe.
