About this audio guide
This guide to the Luisenhof in Dresden follows the building itself, from the builder Ernst Heinrich Friebel and the cable railway being cut up the Loschwitz slope in the eighteen-nineties to the owners who kept enlarging, glazing and digging into the hillside. It touches the Voigt family's decades here and an early nineteen-thirties gamble on motor cars at a hilltop reached by rail. Best heard on the terrace, facing the Elbe.
