At Terrassenufer 1 the register lists a shipping building and bridge-keeper’s house (Schifffahrtsgebäude, Brückenwärterhaus). It dates the bridge-keeper’s house to the first half of the 19th century. It describes the building as part of the Altstadt view of the Elbe and of town-planning significance.
The register also gives the address Terrassenufer to the passenger steamer Dresden, which it lists with its steam engine; the paddle steamers have a page of their own.
The register lists the Moritz monument (Kurfürst-Moritz-Denkmal) at the Terrassenufer. It says that the monument there is a copy of an original that was put into storage in another place.
The city’s page on the history of the synagogue places the Neue Synagoge on the Terrassenufer; the Neue Synagoge has its own page.
