I am also stuck with the final code... I have tried several symbols, I have even attempted brute force with some of them, but all is in vain. After reading some messages here I suspect maybe I am also getting the third one wrong, even though it seemed quite obvious at the beginning.

Well I am puzzled why people were stuck with the third character, though I did have some challenges with the code. My thinking was that with the first, I was not sure of case (so 2 choices), with the 2nd, I thought I had 3 choices, So I would need 6 tries to ensure I got it. I needed all six sadly.

Bump for solved. Forgot about the last character in the final answer for a long time. Almost drove me nuts.

I've tried many things for 3 and 7, any of which could be considered correct. It appears I haven't yet found The Correct Site™.

The incorrect city showed up multiple times on the search I did, but I found a different city and that worked.
I'll try other search terms for number 3. Thanks for the help.
Now to find out about the older brother and I'm done :-D

Yeah, I was way in the wrong place for number 3. I still don't know how I got to the right answer, but I did. Just one question left. Thanks again.

First of all thanks for your efforts on this!
Most of the questions are good to find using Google / Wikipedia / etc.
I think especially Q3 is pretty hard for non German native participants. Also Q7 contains a trap here.
After doing some brute force attempts on the chars I really need help here.
The font type is really bad to differ between upper / lower case chars and even digits (in case they are allowed?) ... :-(
In my opinion there are at least two different options for each char except #4, which is 100% bold.
It would be helpful if you could give hints like shown below
Thank you!

Finally I made it after 30+ tries... Yeeeeah! :-)
Especially the second one was the most unlikely solution.

The second was one of those I assumed problems. There could be two choices. But to avoid these troubles in the future I just added the passcode to the puzzle. As the giveaways have ended already people dont need to bother anymore with the font :P

Both answers are accepted. Either just a number or a number years. So this shouldn't cause any problems and is the reason I didnt add the format. Other than that if you have answered the rest of the questions I am a bit irritated. You know the year the Archer is Dresden was created and you need to substract the year in which his older brother was created. You will recieve then the searched number. If you know the artist you can search on information about him. It shoud help in this case too.

This is my first puzzle for this event. While searching information for the Archer in Dresden I noticed that there is a slight lack of them. So this may be harder than anticipated. Nonetheless I found some interesting questions. Go figure them out! If you have question just post them here and I will help you to the best of abilities and mood :P
The Archer is standing at his location since 1936 for maybe not so good reasons. But the area is really pitoresque. I should have added more pictures :P
Sit back and enjoy this remarkable landmark.
