thumb|280px|Villa Sonneck, Hellerau, 1921 thumb|280px|Deutsche Werkstatten, Hellerau thumb|280px|Festspielhaus, Hellerau Hellerau is a northern quarter (Stadtteil) in the city of Dresden, Germany, slightly south of Dresden Airport. It was the first garden city in Germany. The northern section of Hellerau absorbed the village of Klotzsche, where some 18th century buildings remain.
==Origins== Based on the ideas of Ebenezer Howard, businessman Karl Schmidt-Hellerau founded Hellerau near Dresden in 1909. The idea was to create an organic, planned community. Several well-known architects participated in its construction, including Richard Riemerschmid, Heinrich Tessenow, Hermann Muthesius, Kurt Frick, Georg Metzendorf, Wilhelm Kreis and Bruno Paul.
