The coordinates are from the Grünes Gewölbe Museum which is part of Dresden Castle (German: Dresdner Residenzschloss).
Most of the castle was reduced to a roofless shell during the air attack (bombing of Dresden during World War II) on February 13-14, 1945. The Heraldic Hall, the Jewel Hall, the Silver Hall and the Bronze Hall were all destroyed. Fortunately, the collections survived, having been transported to Königstein Fortress in the early years of the war.
For the first 15 years after the end of World War II, no attempt was made to restore the building except for the installation of a temporary roof in 1946. During the 1960s reconstruction began with installing new windows. Since then, an incredible amount of restoration has taken place. The famous "Grünes Gewölbe" (Green Vault) was reopened in 2005 containing, among other priceless objects, the treasures of the Saxon monarchy. The reconstruction of the castle is not yet complete.
