List of baroque buildings in Dresden

The list of baroque buildings in Dresden gives an overview of existing baroque buildings in the Saxon state capital Dresden . In addition to well-known buildings such as the Zwinger or the Frauenkirche , the “ Baroque City of Dresden ” has numerous other baroque buildings that either survived the Second World War undamaged and were renovated or were reconstructed after the Second World War. The degree of destruction of individual baroque buildings had reached different degrees:

• 

  Ruin of the Frauenkirche

• 

  "Skeleton" of the Taschenbergpalais'

• 

  derelict Thomae pavilion

• 

  Societaetstheater before the renovation

The list of baroque buildings includes buildings whose structure has been preserved from the baroque period or which, as in the case of the Loschwitz Church or the Taschenbergpalais, existed as ruins and were rebuilt. Of a few buildings, such as the Essenius House, the Dinglinger House or the Palais Hoym , only fragments that have been integrated into other buildings are preserved today. They have also been included in the list for the sake of completeness. Buildings were also included in the list that were built earlier, but underwent a renovation during the Baroque period, which still shapes the appearance of the building today.

With the exception of the Café Donnersberg , which was immediately "rebuilt in the style of the previous building" after its demolition, the list does not contain any baroque buildings that have been built in the course of the rebuilding of Dresden's Neumarkt since the 1990s.
