The
European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010, the anniversary of Dresden’s State
Art Collection, the history of porcelain art in Germany, Saxony’s musical
heritage which has produced brilliant composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and
Robert Schumann are the main themes of Welcome to Germany’s summer edition

museums you can visit and on the many events being staged on the occasion of
these four themes. For example, visitors to the Ruhr metropolis in 2010 will
be able to witness extraordinary, magnificent cultural festivities, which will
convey in a fascinating way the spectacular changes which have turned the area
into a cultural metropolis of a new kind. The article on the 450th anniversary

of the Turkish Chamber in Dresden’s rebuilt Royal Palace and the show ”State
of the Art since 1560: An exhibition” in the Albertinum, but readers will

the 250-year-old tradition of porcelain art in Thuringia.
This issue also covers Leipzig’s rich musical heritage and charming German

death of the Prussian Queen Luise, the Luther Decade 2008-2017, 200 years of
