About this audio guide
This guide to the Hausmannsturm, the oldest surviving tower of Dresden's royal palace, starts at the very top, with a weathervane and a line of Hebrew few people below can read. It reaches back to a hilltop battle in the Book of Exodus, then forward to seventeen seventy-five and a craftsman from Wittenberg with a new kind of protection. Stand in the palace courtyard where you can see both the clock face and the spire.
