Sound plays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Florence on the Elbe. We have it nice here. A good city to live in. And so international. A cosmopolitan city?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dresden has thirteen twin cities in Europe, Africa, America and Asia. And as a city of art and culture, we have an international reputation. Over two million tourists come to the Elbe every year. We have a diverse university and research landscape and the semiconductor industry is booming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you can hear this diversity. Every day. On the train, at the checkout, at work or in the park. Dresden sounds different than it did twenty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half of the world’s population speaks at least two languages. Some countries or cities are so large that hundreds of languages are spoken there. In London, for example, more than three hundred languages are spoken. And Dresden, what does Dresden sound like? And who are these Dresdeners?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set off and asked around on the streets of our city. It’s unbelievable how many people have lived and worked here for many years. We asked what it was like for them when German still sounded foreign. We wanted to know what language they dream in and what the most difficult German words are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And those who can’t hear or speak, how do they experience our city?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
