Fürstenzug, Porcelain wall painting at Augustusstrasse, Dresden, Germany
The Fürstenzug covers 102 meters of the northern wall of the royal stables, presenting a detailed parade of Saxon rulers through 24,000 Meissen porcelain tiles.
The original sgraffito painting from 1876 by Wilhelm Walther underwent transformation between 1904 and 1907, when artists replaced it with durable porcelain tiles.
The mural depicts 93 historical figures from the House of Wettin, displaying their traditional attire, weapons, and ceremonial elements from eight centuries of Saxon rule.
The wall painting stands near Dresden Castle and Frauenkirche, allowing visitors to examine the intricate details of each mounted figure throughout different times of day.
During the 1945 bombing of Dresden, the porcelain mural remained largely intact, with only 200 tiles requiring replacement from the total collection of 24,000 pieces.
