On May 31, 2012, the sculpture was re-erected at its original location and ceremoniously handed over two days later in the presence of the Mayor of Economic Affairs Hilbert.

The building was destroyed in 1945, along with the restaurant that was only set up in 1935/1936, and demolished in 1950.

The Narrenhäusel should be rebuilt largely true to the original by the private investor Frank Wiesner from 2022. As of March 2023, it has not yet started. The city of Dresden sold the property to him in January 2020.

It is to be built according to a design by the architect Martin Trux, who was chosen as the winner by an expert committee in March 2020.

On June 9, 2005, a Kaufland opened in the former tram hall. By autumn 2005, the former administration building will accommodate shops, offices and apartments.

In 2013 there were plans in the Finance Ministry to demolish the building despite its listed status and replace it with a new building.

From October 2015, the cafeteria was temporarily used as one of the many migrant accommodations in Dresden; the "wear and tear" on the building previously mentioned for the closure apparently played no role for this purpose. The demolition plans have not been pursued since then.

The structural renovation has been underway since 2020 and is scheduled to be completed in 2024 with 850 seats in three large dining rooms including a terrace extension, lounge area and beer room.

In 1862, the city of Dresden demanded that the Old Jewish Cemetery be located in today's Äußere Neustadt due to the now dense residential development around it. The Jewish community therefore acquired property in Johannstadt in 1864 for a new facility. The first cemetery hall was built here around 1866, but the cemetery, which was founded in 1867, was severely damaged on February 13, 1945. The rebuilt mourning hall served as a synagogue from 1950 to 2001.

Together with the municipality of Gruna, Neugruna was incorporated into Dresden in 1901. 20 years later, Blasewitz was also incorporated. Neugruna, spatially separated from Gruna by Striesen, was then assigned to the Blasewitz district together with the neighboring Neuseidnitz.

The only remaining old building on Neumarkt (apart from the rebuilt Frauenkirche, which contains some original parts) is the Johanneum with the transport museum.

The New Marked used to be one ogf the most important places in the Old Town but since its destruction in 1945 it lost most of its significance because it was not rebuilt to at least one half of its previous standard, opposed to the Old Marked.

In the mid 1980's it was brought back to life because of the Peace demonstration held on the ruins of the "Frauenkirche" in rememberance of the bombings on the 13th of February 1945. Also, first plans were made to reconstruct.

Since the Change the square took centre stage owing to excavations and some, rather destructive discussions regarding the reconstruction. One of the issues was the amount of historical main buildings to be "brought back to life" and how many new buildings would be required, since there had been a considerable amount of "2nd class buildings" in the area as well before the war been.

The "Society Historical New Market Dresden e.V." [GHND] () in pleading and fighting for a compltete original building development, City planners, investors and some architects have quite controversial visions for new buildings.The opponents of modern building are now pointing towards the rather dissapointing modern extension of the Coselpalais and want to avoid failures like that in the future.

In 2005/10, the GHND carried out the reconstruction of the house Rampische Strasse No. 29.

In the autum of 2002 a competition was held for architects to design the area between the hotel Hilton and the New Market, the so called quarter on the church Frauenkirche, short called QF. For the other quarters, in particular II and IV, were planning ahead and immediately dug the pits. The old radicals Keller had to make way while in all cases, a contemporary new construction.

On the 4th of April 2003 the Dresden-people celebrated the beginning of the rehabilitation of the New Market area. On this day the digging works started for the large underground car park under the square.

With new finds such as the Frauentorbrücke with the upstream Barbican underground car park and was the reconstruction of the Neumarkt first fall once again in danger.

Recent archaeological findings near the "Frauentorbrücke" were again endangering the construction of the underground car park and with it the reconstruction of the New Marked.
The necessity to preserve all findings around the Frauentor are making a comercial use of the underground car park virtually impossible, according to the constructors. But its built is a condition to ensure modern usage of the planned new buildings (even the reconstruction of the main buildings would be equivalent to a new built).

In the meantime a compromise might be reached, considering the requirements of the preservation of monuments and historic buildings and the new developments.

On the same day was also the renovated Lutherdenkmal up again.

Between 2005 and 2008, in addition to the entire Quarter I, the parts of Quarters II, III and IV facing Neumarkt were completed. In addition, the shell of the Schützresidenz was built in Quarter V.

The area of the former Gewandhaus, however, will remain undeveloped for 10 years according to the city council resolution of April 2008, which unfortunately means there is no clear statement about its reconstruction the historic square front ("Sempersche Shopfront") of Quarter VI behind it. (Quarters I-VI)

In the meantime, the exterior of this complex has been largely rebuilt true to the original, including part of the Semper shop front. The corner building on Frauenstrasse was rebuilt in a historicizing way by Günter Blobel, the floor heights differ greatly from the original of the earlier building a href='../Lexikon/K.htm#Kaufhaus-Au-petit-Bazar'>Department store "Au Petit Bazar" from.

This completes the immediate development of the Neumarkt square (apart from the Hotel Stadt Rom) and the adjacent street
An der Frauenkirche and thus the version of the Frauenkirche. Only the complex of the former Palais Hoym and a block on SchloßstraßeIn the vicinity of the Neumarkt area were still under construction in 2020, but are now also finished or are nearing completion.

1. Innere Neustadt (Inner New Town, southern) and
2. Äußere Neustadt (Outward New Town, northern of this street)

Nothing remains of all buildings of this old market place in the New Town, including its City Hall (Rathaus). Even the shape of the square was changed. It used to be layed out North-South to West-East. This are the results of the large street Köpckestraße, which required a pedestrian tunnel to garantie save road crossing. On the tunnels South entry is a very interesting sand-stone historical relief of the New Town. Also two restaurant garden ensure the square's livelyhood, which are very popular because of the grandious view towards the silhouette of the Old town.

In the middle of the square the most famous sculpture of the "Goldener Reiter" (golden horsemann) and on the crossing to the Hauptstraße are 2 fountains by the sculpturer Benjamin Thomae which stood originaly from 1742 until 1945 on the angular corners of the nearby corner building. Also of interest are the 2 flag poles on the entry to the street Hauptstrasse and a statue of the court jester Fröhlich by Heinrich Apel on the grounds of the famous restaurant "Narrenhäuschen" which was destroyed in 1945. On the other side of the bridgehead is the Blockhouse.

On the Neustadter Markt and the adjacent main street there are still folk festivals and special markets instead.

This is where the Watzke brewery bar at the Goldener Reiter is located today, where beer from the traditional Ballhaus Watzke is served .

An association () takes care of promoting this tradtional part of the town.

The intersection with Münchner Strasse is called Nürnberger Platz. Before 1945, the square, designed as a roundel, was lined with very representative residential buildings, all of which were destroyed. Despite its proximity to TU, the square remained completely undesigned until recently. The new development with student residential and commercial buildings has been underway for a few years, and supermarkets, a drugstore and other shops have been built on the ground floor.

The nymph figures on the left and the water-spewing dolphins date back to Permoser. The figures on the right, however, come from the time of the Zwinger restoration in the 1920s/30s.

created in 1908 by Bruno Fischer of white marble, stand in the park Bürgerwiese.
