About this audio guide
This guide to the Dreikönigskirche in Dresden's Neustadt follows the money behind a church that a ruler's new street plan forced into being in the seventeen-thirties. It moves from a parish budget stretched thin, through the neighbours who chipped in a century later, to a rebuilding after the war that was shaped by what could be afforded. Stand on the Hauptstraße facing the tower before you press play.
