Saxony state capital on the Elbe River — historically a baroque Saxon-royal capital, largely destroyed in February 1945 and meticulously rebuilt (the Frauenkirche reconstruction completed 2005 is the symbol). The Altstadt (Theaterplatz + Zwinger Palace + Frauenkirche) and Neustadt (the bohemian-arts district across the river) anchor the walkable cores. Germany has no DNV; Freiberufler / Selbständige / Blue Card. Schengen. Roughly 50% cheaper than Munich on rent with deep classical-music density (Semperoper) and Saxon-Switzerland sandstone-mountain hiking 40min south.
