Bits of Knowledge about Dresden 1 Dresdner Frauenkirche where we visited today is the church of our lady if translated. I think many people wonder why it is called ‘our lady’ though it is a Protestant church. The city of Dresden had been catholic before, but the Religious Reformation brought it to conversion to Protestant. However, the name of the church remained the same to preserve it as symbol of the city. It’s a snap shot taken from the slope of the tower of the Frauenkirche as I was looking down !

The Kreuzkirche boys’ choir is the oldest choir in history! It’s the original choir.

Mac
We had the fist MacDonald in Dresden. There were so many kinds on the menu that I couldn’t decide soon. I challenged the kind that was not on the menu in Japan! It’s a sausage burger and cheese fry that we can find only in Germany. You eat cheese fry with cranberry dip. It has a profound taste.
