Dresden school (used around 1730-1933) is a regionally famous word phrase used for an architecture style developed mainly in Dresden, Germany, by architects from all over Europe, but mainly Germany and Italy.
The architects and sculptors worked for kings and later private persons. Their models were mainly situated in Italy but they developed a very own architecture style, the Dresden school. The goal was to create art works, not only as stand alone buildings, but unique city emsembles, especially in detail. They created masterpieces for example of Baroque and Renaissance and later city villas in huge amounts (for example on river scopes or in former fisher districts), but also Jewish cathedrals or public schools.
One important member was Gottfried Semper, building the Dresden Semper Oper with the panther - quadriga by Johannes Schilling. Important sculptors were Ernst Rietschel, Johannes Schilling and Ernst Julius Hähnel
