Brühl's Garden, Public park in Altstadt, Dresden, Germany
Brühl's Garden is the eastern section of the Brühl Terrace on the Jungfernbastei, the site of the former Belvedere palaces. It was laid out from 1739 as a French garden to plans by Johann Christoph Knöffel for Count Heinrich von Brühl. A bronze plaque from 1986 by Martin Hänisch marks where a rococo garden pavilion once stood.
The garden takes its name from Heinrich von Brühl, a powerful statesman who shaped Saxony's cultural and political affairs in the 1700s. Its design reflects the Baroque tradition of princely gardens that defined the era.
The garden is named after Heinrich von Brühl and reflects the artistic tradition of Dresden's old town. Visitors can sense the proximity to the Fine Arts Academy and enjoy views of the reconstructed Frauenkirche from here.
The garden is accessible from multiple entry points in the old town and pathways are well-paved throughout. Visitors will find plenty of seating areas and can explore the space comfortably in any season.
The garden was laid out from 1739 as a French garden to plans by Johann Christoph Knöffel for Count Heinrich von Brühl, and it was opened to the public in 1814. On the site of a rococo garden hall of 1743, used from 1828 to 1833 by the Technische Bildungsanstalt, a bronze plaque by Martin Hänisch from 1986 recalls the pavilion as the home of the Technical University's predecessor.
