Saxony has, after Saxony Anhalt, the most vibrant economy of the states of the former East Germany. Saxony is also one of the most renowned tourist destinations in Germany - especially the cities of Leipzig and Dresden and their surroundings. 2. The history of the state of Saxony spans more than a millennium. It has been a medieval duchy, an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire, a kingdom, and twice a republic. As World War II drew to its end, U.S. troops under General George Patton occupied the western part of Saxony in April 1945, while Soviet troops occupied the eastern part. That summer, the entire state was handed over to Soviet forces as agreed in the London Protocol of September 1944. Britain, the US, and the USSR then negotiated Germany's future at the Potsdam Conference. Under the Potsdam Agreement, all German territory East of the Oder-Neisse line was annexed by Poland and the Soviet Union, and, unlike in the aftermath of World War I, the annexing powers were allowed to expel the inhabitants. During the following three years, Poland and Czechoslovakia forcibly expelled German-speaking people from their territories, and some of these expellees came to Saxony. 3. Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor, and was once by personal union the family seat of Polish monarchs. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre. The controversial American and British bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000 people, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city centre. 4. Dresden has the most beautiful milk shop in the world. Pfunds Molkerei is in the new town area and is decorated with neo-Renaissance tiles. Pfunds Dairy is considered the most beautiful dairy shop in the world and was added in 1998 to the Guinness Book of World Records. 5. The United Nations' cultural organization UNESCO declared the Dresden Elbe Valley to be a World Heritage Site in 2004. After being placed on the list of endangered World Heritage Sites in 2006, the city lost the title in June 2009, due to the construction of the Waldschlößchenbrücke, making it only the second ever World Heritage Site to be removed from the register. 6. Toothpaste was invented in Dresden. Pharmacist Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg produced the first version of this now common product in 1907. 7. The coffee filter was invented in Dresden. In 1908, Amalie Melitta Bentz thought of using paper to prevent the grounds from getting into coffee cups. Her name is still present in the filter company Melitta, although it is not based in Dresden anymore.
