Location

Today's location is at the edge of the Prager Carree, right next to Dresden's main shopping mile, the Prager Straße (Prague street). On the other side of the Prager Carree are the Wiener Platz ("Vienna Square") and the Dresden Hauptbahnhof main train station. Prager Carree ("Prague Block") is the name of a 6-house 241-appartment complex that is being constructed in the past year, just 2-3 weeks ago the topping-out took place. Before, the construction pit (called Wiener Loch/"Vienna hole" by the locals) lay idle for many years because of incompetence in developing the site, costing the city many many millions of Euros.

Planning

I plan to walk there in the morning, I don't have a time planned yet. I scouted the the location today (Saturday) while shopping, it's inside the construction site's fence. I will not be able to reach the spot from the satellite image, but perhaps the GPS inaccuracy between the buildings will bring the exact coordinates to me. It's just too close to not try.
