Dresden is an abandoned village in Brazeau Township in Perry County, Missouri, United States.

[2] Pastor Carl Frederick Wilhelm Walter ministered to the village of Dresden.

A log-cabin Lutheran seminary “college” was founded in 1839 at Dresden by J. F. Bürger, T. Brohm, O. Fuerbringer, and Walther; classes, however, soon moved to Altenburg.

After Stephan's downfall, it was assigned for a time to the care of Walther, but most of the other pastors also lived there because it contained most of the habitable dwellings of the first Saxon settlers.

The log cabin erected for the college in 1839 is originally said to have been located within the territory of Dresden, but subsequently has always been spoken of as Altenburg, where it is exhibited today.
