About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Kuppelrestaurant in the Yenidze in Dresden takes you back to nineteen oh seven, when tobacco merchant Hugo Zietz wanted a factory in a city that refused to let factories look like factories. It follows the architect Martin Hammitzsch, the tombs of Cairo he borrowed from, and an Ottoman town in Thrace that lent the building its name. Best heard at a window table facing the striped minaret.
