The Return of the Oranges

All events and exhibitions

The orange trees are returning home!

In 1710, Augustus the Strong gave the fortified area new splendor – and the term »Zwinger« received a completely new meaning. This was the place where he had one of Germany’s most beautiful orangeries built for a few hundred orange trees by his Master Builder Poeppelmann.
In order to come closer to that original purpose of the Dresden Zwinger again, 80 orange trees are to return to the Zwinger by 2018.
