Café Toscana, Heritage café at Schillerplatz, Dresden, Germany.

Café Toscana occupies the ground floor of a red-brick corner building at Schillerplatz 7, where the square meets the bridge ramp to the Blaue Wunder. The late Historicist facade, built in the 1890s, shows a corner turret, curved gables, and a seated-niche portal. Inside, original café fittings survive, including columns.

Louis Köhler, former restaurateur of the Schillergarten, bought the corner house at Schillerplatz 7 in 1897 and opened a coffee roastery with coffee service on its ground floor; from 1901 the Dresden address books advertised it as Café Toscana, with the official trade notice following in 1903. The name refers to Crown Princess Luise of Austria-Tuscany, wife of Friedrich August III, who often stayed there. In 1905 the confectioner Hugo Zimmermann took over the café and set up a pastry kitchen in the cellar.

The café continues the tradition of Dresden baking with handcrafted specialties made on-site daily. The space shows how local food culture remains an active part of the neighborhood today.

The café is located at Schillerplatz and easily accessible with clear views toward the Elbe and the nearby bridge. Visitors will find seating indoors and can purchase coffee and baked goods made directly on the premises.

The building is listed in Saxony's official monument register under the name "Café Toscana", recorded as a rental house with an integrated café in a closed row. Its monument value rests on surviving parts of the original café fittings, including columns. The red brick facade, corner tower and curved gables follow German and northern European Renaissance models.
