I live in Dresden since 20 years and experienced only one case of racism. Never heard of an physical attack in the city center, where a foreigner got beat up and other people just witnessed it whithouth helping (like its described in this comment section). Despite the "Nazi" reputation (which I would change with "conservative"), you also have some very "left wing" neighbourhoods in Dresden. Stay away from 2 or 3 areas in the city at night and you don't have to fear anything, with the exception of wearing a scarf of a football club that isnt Dynamo Dresden ;)

I am black, I live in Dresden during last 5 years. Had no issue during either daylight or nightlight. Nice city, just stay away from very deep suburbs

I’m moving to Dresden next year and reading all these comments as a black woman is making me feel so unsettled and making me rethink my decision

Dresden used to be quite a nice city but the last few years it became quite bad. With the recent crime rate increasing I wouldn't feel too safe travelling to Dresden as a non-white. Right-wing extremism and physical attacks on foreigners became really a problem.

More than 4,000 attacks on foreigners have occurred since 2015 in this place and locals just stand by when a black person is beaten up in the town centre. Search this place up and you will see it's full of nazis.

As you can see below just another place full of backwards people from ex communist states. Miss good old times during the Cold War that kept creatures like this away from the world!
