The idea of the Beethoven journey is born

15 November 2025 | Frank Wallburger (Dresden, Tour Guide)

I knew that Beethoven performed in Prague and Teplice.

Was he also in Dresden, after all, Friedrich Schiller wrote large parts of his 'Ode to Joy' here in Elbflorenz?

Oh yes – there was a concert tour in 1796 with a stop in Dresden. Oh yes – there is a repeat in 2026 – the Beethoven Project! Long live Beethoven – may he make this journey once again. Beethoven alive among us.

That's crazy!
