The Großer Garten, a large English-style garden, lies largely to the east of the Old Town. Its history dates back to 1676 but the current layout is late 19th century. It is a favored place of relaxation and includes a zoo, botanical garden, open-air stage, and a pleasure palace.
Across the road from the main entrance to the park is the German Hygiene Museum, Lignerplatz 1. It was founded in 1911 by the manufacturer of Odol mouthwash and has serious scientific displays on human biology, medical progress, and a healthy lifestyle. Many displays are hands-on and popular with children as well.
In a corner of the park is one of Dresden’s prestige investment projects, the Gläserne Manifaktur, (Transparent Factory), Lennéstraße 1. In this glass cube some 800 workers produce Volkswagen’s prestige car, the Phaeton. Customers taking delivery of their new vehicles have priority on the tours, which must be reserved in advance.
