Coswig

Coswig is a town situated on the Elbe River between Dresden and Meissen in eastern Germany. It features residential neighborhoods, local shops, and parks where visitors can walk and observe everyday life in a smaller regional town.

The town developed during the 19th century as a residential place for wealthy families from Dresden. During this period, Villa Teresa was built, which later attracted notable composers and musicians.

The town maintains partnerships with Lovosice in Czech Republic and Ravensburg in Germany through regular cultural exchange programs and municipal cooperation.

The town is easy to reach by tram from Dresden or by regional train at the central station. The layout is straightforward, making it simple to explore on foot or by local transport.

Villa Teresa, where a renowned composer and celebrated pianist once lived, is now a museum showcasing their musical work. Visitors can see the rooms where these artists lived and created.
