Doctors introducing drug study somewhere in Germany (7)

I believe the answer is:

dresden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in germany' is the definition.
(I know that Dresden is part of Germany)

'doctors introducing drug study somewhere' is the wordplay.
'doctors' becomes 'Drs' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'doctor').
'introducing' is an insertion indicator (some letters introduced or inserted into others).
'drug' becomes 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy).
'study somewhere' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office. I am not sure about the 'somewhere' bit.).
'drs' enclosing 'e' is 'dres'.
'dres'+'den'='DRESDEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dresden that I've seen before include "'German city, almost totally destroyed by British air raids in 1945 (7)'" , "Germany city - reddens (anag)" , "Type of china" , "Famous china made at Meissen" , "SE German city" .)
